I have stayed on top of Tonya's class (for which she leaves a lot of room for completing tasks). I'm enjoying this quilt a lot but still feel a bit lost. Sure is wordy.
I have kept up with the journaling for the 365 Challenge which is good, but my strips are different lengths (all of them) which is bad and I don't know why. I'll not worry about that until I'm at the end of the year. (Great procrastinator!)
I got all the corner blocks made for the lattice for the Feathered Star quilt. I've even started on the lattice blocks! The colors are much brighter than I had expected so I'm deviating from the peaceful winter feel I was aiming for but I think it will still look nice.
And so far I've made 13 blocks for the When-Oh-When quilt. Another 5 to go! This seems much busier than the picture from the book that I'm following. Isn't it interesting how quilts sort of go the way they want to go by themselves? The Wonky quilt is wordier than I'd pictured it, the Challenge quilt is much more colorful, the Feathered Star brighter and the When-Oh-When busier than I thought it would be.As for November?
Keep up with the 365 and Tonya's class. Get the When-Oh-When into one piece. I hate to lay aside the Feathered Star but I don't want to force myself to get that into one piece too. This is the season for knitting and I ought to be thinking of making something for Tetsu...
Yeah November!

Your 365 quilt is beautiful and so colourful. How special that people all over the world are making it.

all those projects are progressing so well. One "solution" for the varying lengths on your journal quilt would be to cut some commercial patterned fabric that goes with the colour palette you've chosen, and just "sprinkle" various size patches of it amongst the journal... this way you can make them the sizes you need to even out the columns, without it seeming like a "fix" -- particularly if you sprinkle a number of them between weeks, and throughout the top.... it does make the top bigger though if that's a problem....
Happy November to you Tanya. I had been so busy with the Halloween preparations that I completely forgot the new month.
Yeah, without a deadline, you don't know what night you are supposed to stay up late to finish everything. You got a fabulous amount done - good for you.
You're very good to focus yourself to set targets - I just can't do that, instead I just squirrel away and then panic when I get to the 11th hour moment and need to finish something
I see, you are busy, busy, busy...
Thankyou for your kind thoughts Tanya. You are such a lovely person!
I love those quilt blocks in the last photo!!
pixie has a great idea for your 365 quilt. Who cares if the lengths are supposed to be the same - it's your quilt, you get to do it your way. Same goes with the class quilt. you are in charge of it. If you don't like how it's coming along, you can change it!
