Boy it feels great to have this quilt done! Begun back in February, with my good friend Louise @imfeelincrafty as designer and hostess, I've been making blocks month by month pretty much on schedule. My Seattle MQG guild mates - and others! - have been actively making them as well, so it's been fun to follow along with them too.
A pieced quilt back seemed in order, and I started with extra blocks from the front but then made a bunch more HRTs and HSTs from scraps.
The overall quilt is 56" x 56". I went pretty simple with my quilting, using the serpentine stitch on my backup machine, with Aurifil 40wt 6722 [Sea Biscuit]. Gotta say, that serpentine goes pretty quickly, and before I knew it, I was binding the quilt in Kona Pacific, one of the colors used in making the blocks.
I haven't been quite as good with having a monthly quilt finish this year, so it feels extra good to have one for November. Plus, a nice, cozy quilt finish is always a good thing.
