Sixteen Patches
6 inch
Made with 2 inch width scraps in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color of the month plus green scraps.
While sorting scraps I throw anything suitable for these blocks into the project box. I try to sew them up right away whenever I have scraps; however, I have been blessed with quite a few scraps this year so I sewed up some of what was in the box. Otherwise for RSC blocks I cut off a 2 inch strip from a small scrap chunk in the color of the month each month to make blocks. I'm aiming for a 60 x 72 block quilt so need quite a few more so this block will continue as a RSC project again next year.
Sawtooth Stars
10.5 inch
Made with 3 inch scraps in orange, purple and green.
In September I emptied out most of a big box of 3 inch width scraps and squares. One of the quilts I didn't have enough scraps for was this one. I put the pieces I did have in a baggie and this week I found scraps in appropriate colors as well as some 5.5 inch centers and completed the 35 blocks for this block set so now it will go into the SAR - Some Assembly Required box - to be assembled at a later date.
November's theme in my sewing space is "Oldies and Biggies". I hope to move some very old UFOs forward and to quilt some of the bigger quilts in the TBQ - to be quilted pile.
And sew on...
NOTE - I spent quite awhile replying to comments on my last two blog posts only to notice the replies were going into thin air and not to the commenters. Something has changed with Google blogger. When someone commented it was published right away and then I received an email with the comment so I could reply via email if the commenter had their email addy visible on their profile. Well, the last couple of days no one's email came with the comments to my email even if their addy was visible on their profile. I just noticed the problem. I have enabled comment moderation to see if that makes a difference although I doubt it will. 🙁

CELEBRATE! (my word of the year)
Nov 1 - Quote I like - "The secret, Alice, is to surround yourself with people who make your heart smile. It is then, only then, that you will find Wonderland". - Mad Hatter (Lewis Carroll)
Also...I am so happy that I have been able to get some things ready for hand quilting, applique, embroidery, etc. It's been a long time! I really need to be able to do something with my hands in the evenings; however, with my husband John being ill for so long I've just not found the time until very recently.

I'm sorry you're having this shit-tuation with blogger's comment. There's something wrong with the web lately. Friday at work, most bank's transfers went down. We couldn't close house sale because the money wouldn't transfer. Talk about a shit-tuation when the new owners are already to move into their new home over the weekend but can't because they didn't pay for it yet. 🙄😫 Hopefully, your situation is also temporarily and will fix itself soon. Love all your blocks. Very Halloween with all the orange, purple and green. Enjoy! ;^)
Beautiful colorful fabrics and great patterns... that puts you in a good mood :-)))
yes, probably... surround yourself with nice and happy people...
and with colored fabrics.
A hug for you.
LOVE the Alice quote. Isn't so incredibly true? Happy Saturday stitching :-)
That's the good thing about RSC blocks, we can happily carry them over to the next year if necessary.
Your blocks with all the greens are cool and refreshing! I think a lot of bloggers have been having that problem with their comments in the last few days. I wonder if there is a way to fix it?!
Love your sawtooth stars!
These fabrics seem to say FALL. I love it and the blocks. I think I have gotten a response to all of my comments but you don't have to feel obligated to respond as long as you keep posting! LOL I look forward to your posts. I enjoy my morning coffee with you! Looking forward to November.
Blogger comments are being weird this week. Everyone is "no reply," even if they haven't been until now. Your blocks will turn into wonderful flimsies and I look forward to seeing what you get finished in November.
