Here we go! November 1st already! Only two more months to work on your UFOs with me. Well I got one of my other goals finished last night. Yippee!! I got my Bunny Hill BOM put together.
I even got the backing and binding made. So that was two goals reached by me.
Alas! this one is still on the design wall. My goal this month is to get the blocks together and one of the borders on it. I have a total of three borders planned for this quilt. One of them is applique. I would really like to get the applique pieces prepped too.
The fall colors in my neck of the woods are just brilliant today. So I was inspired to bring out this UFO. In the early 2000s my mom, who is also a quilter, and I swapped blocks with each other. I asked for fall colored blocks. She asked for blue and yellow blocks. My mom put her quilt together right away after we finished the swap. As you can see mine are just the blocks.
There are so many blocks I could not get them up on my design wall. There are 20 more blocks sitting in the pile. I think I could make a king size quilt with all the blocks. I am thinking about splitting up the blocks. Maybe putting the fall colored blocks in one quilt and the green ones in another quilt. I am going to think about it while I put my Christmas tree blocks together.
Angie inspired me to get out my grandmother's flower garden quilt again. I have a stack of green hexagons I will work on this month. Each Friday is Hexie Friday on
Angie's blog. I added the four green hexies last night. So I am linking up today.

Great finish!!! Yeah for you!!! Your little Christmas quilt is just adorable!! Can't wait to see the applique - what a great addition!!
What a fun swap!! Great idea to make two quilts!! Great colors!!
Blessings!
Your blocks are so pretty... lovely fall colors!
love how your baskets have come together into the top. The border fabric is gorgeous.
Hope you get your swap blocks together they are too lovely to not make it into a top.
enjoy your ufo's
It's so inspiring to see you working on so many UFO's !
First of all, congrats to Nessa!! It's always so much fun to be a winner. But aren't all your readers winners? Your projects are all inspiring others. They are beautiful, finished and unfinished. Piecing blocks is my favorite. I have a basket full of quilts that haven't been put together yet. Good for you for digging one out. I love all those blocks!! Your mom is something else!
I love that you and your mom swapped blocks for a sampler quilt. Good luck with your November goals.
Wonderful blocks, it would be hard to choose. Congratulations Nessa. So many UFO's so little time.
Your accomplishments blow me away! How much time do you spend each day sewing? I want to live next door so I can get some motivation to get my bum in gear and get my UFO's done.

Oh wow...you have your Bunny hill one put together...looks fabulous!!
Its great to see Bunny Hill all together - its going to be a fantastic finish! BTW I emailed you earlier today :)
Your work is beautiful!!
Your Bunny Hill turned out SO cute. What a nice finish. All your other UFO's look like fun too.
Wow, you've been really busy! Wonderful quilts that you've been working on. The applique quilt looks like it would be fun to work on.
Congratulations Carrie...your finishes are great! And you have some good goals for November.
All your UFOs are just beautiful,love them.Happy sewing!
Yay!!! It is so fun to see the baskets all put together. And those are some cool fall blocks too-- I'm with you... I'd totally split them up into two smaller quilts. Can't wait to see what you decide! Good luck on your goals for the month. :)
Hey! Bunny Hill looks so great :) It'll be gorgeous when quilted. Will you do that yourself? The Christmas blocks are going to be cute, and those fall blocks will make a very pretty quilt. How fun that you and your mom exchanged blocks. I'm trying to convince my 15yo to do a mother/daughter quilt together right now. She's got her eye on Christa Quilts' Bead of Pearls quilt, but she's L A Z Y and doesn't want to do the work. lol ;D
Good luck with your goals!!!
I should have found this sooner! All I've been working on for quite a while now are UFOs! I'm on a fabric diet too! It really is great to get the stuff I already have started finished! :0)
