Stary Bright Sky bom 2018

I have sewn my blocks together and put a border on them.  I enjoy Alida's block of months because she gives things to challenge us.  Some of the patterns are difficult but I make myself finish them so that I can receive the next month block.  I work better under pressure!!

November block 2 for Starry Bright Sky bom

I had a "mistake" piece left over from making a block for June.  So I used it in this months block.  I didn't want it to be thrown away.  I changed the color arrangement just a bit so that it would look like a sun shining.   Well, anyway I had fun with it.   The top picture shows the piece from June and the other picture is my finished block 2 for November. 

October block 2 for Starry Bright Sky

When I saw the block that June made it inspired me to try something.  She showed how she used freezer paper to trace her lines for the stars.   So I did that and when I was done with the embroidery I used the freezer paper to cut out some fabric stars and applique them a bit cattywampus over the embroidery.  Raw edge applique.  I'm not too happy with the second star covering the embroidery lines a little too much.  Maybe its an eclipse??  (wink)

October block for Starry Bright Sky

I left off some of the lines that were on the pattern.  I sort of liked the simpler look.

This block was much easier to make than the one for September.  

So..... I see one corner is turned wrong on the middle block.  I will take that out and correct it.
