1 November 2013 Block of the month 20 T's Photo's.
 

Hello Again,

I hope that everyone will post their pictures of their blocks for November right here on this thread. I have my block all done, but can't post it until Monday. I will be looking for everyone to get their blocks done & post those photo's for all of us to see. Have fun!!
:D :D :D :D

TRICK or TREAT Ladies!!

Please give more detail on where to find this group. Thanks

Here is the link to the November block. http://www.quiltingboard.com/blocks-...n-t233747.html

Any idea what the theme is for next year?

This block took me a good portion of TWO days to complete.... a few notes... I pressed the seams open... I DID use the template for the center block (it is not 3 ½" ) after trying unsuccessfully to use the 3 ½" square..... [ATTACH=CONFIG]444771[/ATTACH] and Hallelujah it does measure approx. 12 ½" square.... but a little squeegied :D

Thumble great job. I am not good a tri's so I am doing a PP kinda like the pattern. Maybe I will try it when I am not doing anything else...LOLO

Thimble..awesome!

I have finished November's block.! I don't see how people can do miniatures and postage stamp quilts! Saying that I love this block, in retrospect I wish I have used more contrast in my fabrics but NO I am not going to do a do-over....

YEAH.... great block!

This is lovely. Hmm, black & white. I absolutely love the combination especially with that little splash of color, it looks so yummy. I think I've just made a new final decision on my next project--it will definitely be something black & white.

I absolutely love what you have done with this quilt, adding the smaller blocks to it. I love your Nov. block. In fact, I just love everything about this. Looking back over this post, I guess I could just simply say I love, love, love it. :-)

Here it is Tuesday already & I didn't get around to posting my block picture until now!! :D Sorry about that. I just love what everyone is doing with their block so far, for November. I hope you are all enjoying putting this one together. Now here's mine!!
:D :D :D :D

pretty blocks!!!!

Thanks Rural!.....

Wow lots and lots of little pieces in that block. wont it be hard to quilt??? pretty blocks you all are so patient.

Loving on everyone's blocks... Now to figure what fabric combinations I want to use. :)

Pretty Sula! I need to figure out how to cut my fabric so I get enough contrast. I'm using the same colors again, and they all look like batik.

btw if anyone doesn't want to print out the template, it is 3 1/4" square

I worked all day on my block and only have three rows pieced so far. Its a really neat block but I have to agree its difficult going working with all the small half blocks. Hopefully I will finish it up tomorrow. :thumbup:

Sula ... Pretty pretty pretty

November 20 T's

[ATTACH=CONFIG]445528[/ATTACH]

All of the squares finished so far.

Still working on two more that I yet to catch up on. I am thinking of redoing the first four in the Red White and Blue theme. Havent decided what I will do with the four squares I made in the pinks and greens. Still lots of work to do.

Jenn, you do really good work...love the red white blue ones especially!

Sula and Jenniky, love your blocks. Did you manage to get yours close to the 12 ½" size.... mine is...but a little push & pull here :p

You ladies have all done such a great job. My hope is to join in next year in whatever the new project is. Totally enjoying looking at the new blocks each month.

Thimble mine was pretty much right on just a tad bit of trimming to square it up. :thumbup: Thank you ladies for your encouraging comments. I look forward as always to see what ever one else does with their blocks. :)

Jenn....Nice block! I am doing the red white and blue. Cant wait to finish the last block and get it put together.

Roma, how was your trip? Oh, please tell of the name of your red white & blue block that looks like this...

That one has so much visual interest in the patterns! Good job!

Thanks Roma... I cant wait for December to see the new block.

djmat... haven't left yet.
The block is on quilting on the square a better homes and garden site
Go to BOM's spike your English they are PP (paper Piece) the pattern is like learn how to PP.

Many thanks & safe trip!

I see some of the photos over with the instructions so thought I'd pop the link in here so none get missed. http://www.quiltingboard.com/blocks-...n-t233747.html

block
 

this is an awsome looking block.

Oh my, this was tricky. All those itsy-bitsy pieces. I actually hated what I made so I talked myself into making another one. It turned out about 1/2" bigger than it is supposed to be, so I tried to fudge some seams. That didn't work very well. All those crazy points. Consequently, I'm still not happy with this, although I don't know if I can bear to make another one.

It looks good..I would not do another one...let us hope they take it easy on us in December!

rural... great block. Remember we'll be putting these blocks into our own quilts so when we put them all together there's some fudge factor in them..... maybe you have a month that's a little shy of the 12½" and that'll even it out :D

Jenniky your block is beautiful. The colors really work with this pattern!:thumbup:

I made a substitute block, and haven't been sewing much all month. I'm feeling better today and went for the Bachelor's Puzzle block pattern I found at Quilter's Cache.

Looking at it posted (from a distance) the four squares are what really sticks out to me. I don't like that. Hopefully, it will blend in better with the other blocks.

Cas, very pretty .... and those squares are a pretty colour so just make sure to put some more of it in next month or in your border and it will be stunning!

Cas, you sub block is gorgeous! Did you dye the fabric? I love it!

Thanks Thimblebug and Djmat! I do have some of the purple in my other blocks. I purchased all the fabric at Joanne's. Most of it is batik. I think I will maybe make some type of striped bias from all the leftover fabric for a border or sashing to pull it all together.

Rural I like your block, I like the way the beige sort of solid looking fabric offsets the prints. I am going to have the same issue with over-size and under-size blocks and will probably lose some points too.
