I had such high hopes for the October monochromatic challenge and i disappointed myself. i had a pile of red and white fabrics and designed a cool quilt in EQ.
I made this block and liked it a lot
Then i made this block and liked it a lot. i made 2 of these.....the pattern called for 2.
And then i made this block......and hated it.
I didn't think there was enough contrast in the block in the little 9 patches in the corners of the star. so then i scrapped the whole project. i didn't have enough fabrics that were different. seems most of them had hearts.
So i just put these 4 blocks together and called it a table topper. LOL it was going to be a queen size quilt in Plan A LOL
But, you know what.....once i see the picture of it....i like it a lot better. go figure! so, i guess the lesson learned is to step back and take photos and make more blocks before i decide i don't like it.
Anyway, at least it got quilted up. and since this is a very busy month for me, i met the monochromatic challenge once again.
The quilting in the red border was done with my Quiltazoid.
The only thing i could find in the stash for the back was this red stripe.
A very bright, wild stripe. but that's ok. more fabric out of the stash.
I have a customer quilt on the frame now and i am afraid it is going to take most of the month to finish it. i sure hope i get time to get my UFO challenge done for the month. i planned on a custom job for it....so we will see how that goes.

I think this turned out rather cute!
Lovely!
very nice, I have found that if I snap a photo it sometimes lets me see the piece in another way. many of my keepers evolved from UFO's to Done after seeing possibilities brought out in print. cw
