    Although I don't have much to show, I thought I'd share the Nov BOM that I have just finished laying out all the teensie parts to and now have to try to assemble them and come out with a 12" finished block
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]444722[/ATTACH] I think/hope that once the sections are joined & moved over above the next row that it will turn out like the T's .... wish me luck!

    Two quilts quilted today! I love, love, love glue basting with Elmers and mindless meandering. I've got it down to 1 hour and 45 minutes for a 4 x 6 quilt. But boy are my shoulders tired and sore, thank goodness for coffee!

    Wow, those of you working on tiny blocks--I'm impressed! I don't have the patience work on pieces that small. I did manage to complete everything I wanted this weekend. This is my last Thanksgiving wall hanging ready to hang as soon as I find a hanger! And I have a Christmas quilt top to add to the pile for finishing later this month. That's a completely separate goal--to finish the several quilt tops by the end of the month

    I've really enjoyed quilting with all of you this weekend. Let's plan the next one for the weekend of Dec 13-15. That should be helpful for last minute gifts. I'll keep checking in tonight to see what else people are doing.

    DebraK, I think that stars quilt will be beautiful when complete.
    Thimblebug, you are very brave!
    Toverly, congrats in the finishes.

    Here is my update. I didn't get nearly as far as I had hoped, somehow the weekends are never long enough, but progress is progress, yes?

    I finally finished that red quilt!!! All that's left, besides taking a photo of it, is the binding & I don't have enough fabric, so will have to get more tomorrow. Today was a press all the fabric I used as packing material when we moved in June. Gonna break in my Go! Baby making squares & triangles. I have several projects in mind for them.

    Thanks to the Virtual Quilt weekend I managed to get my avatar quilt ...Fading charms completed. It is not perfect by any means, I am still a beginner quilter and know that I tend to be more creative than accurate in my piecing but I am learning with every quilt I make.

    This quilt will be a birthday gift for a very dear friend. She fell in love with this from the moment she first saw me starting to put 2 inch squares together. She will not admit to her age... and will only say that this is a Big Birthday... all I can say that when I get to be her age and look as good as she does and have the energy to do all that she does... I will be proud to tell folks my age.

    I sewed some on my braid quilt and sandwiched, quilted, and bound from the back a baby quilt. The top, batting, and backing were provided for me but it was the first time that I stitched diagonally rather than tie it or tack it with a small design like a butterfly. I sure have some crooked sewing lines in the middle. I remembered to quilt the center first thanks to postings on QB. My back is sore from wrestling just a baby quilt!

    Judy5cents, your quilt is on my to-do list as a baby quilt but I will use 4 inch squares that were given to me.

    It is very pretty.
