    At last, i am finally working on November's block! The paper-pieced trees kinda kicked my hiney. Just because I was trying to use too little fabric on the two top corners. Did a lot of ripping out.(Anybody who thinks that you can't rip out paper-piecing should watch me for awhile!) Have all of the blocks cut out for November, just have one totally made. One down, 39 to go!
    Anybody else working on them?

    I've run out of my background fabric, so I haven't started yet. I've had that fabric for a really long time and I doubt if I can find it. I'll have to make do with something close to it. Jennie and Me, you're making 40 stars??

    These are so cute. Is there a way to get a place where all these bitty blocks are together?

    Katybob, 40 of each 3inch block, 30 of each 4inch block. Making two quilts. Started out to be one quilt, 20 of the 3 inch and 15 of the 4 inch. Quickly decided that I was going to run out of fabric so I decided to add new fabric. Instead of just adding some of the new fabric in the blocks and moving on, I decided to double my blocks. Nobody ever said that my elevator goes all the way to the top! But, hey, I'll have two quilts to force on recipients.

    These are my finished blocks so far...each months worth in a separate baggy. Lots of sewing in such a small space. Well, it failed to upload my picture. I'll try again later.

    Hi, Cindy -- This is a block of the month project that's being published on the first Monday of each month, so I don't think the directions are in one place on the blog, but you can probably still go to each one. Here's the blog:

    OMG Thank you for the link. I went there and found another light blue link close to the top of the page that solves my problem - they are all there. How cute are these little things??!! I may be a year late - but, in quilters time it's only "bitty". I'm even thinking these would be great 'leaders and enders'. So excited!!!!!

    CindyB. I am not sure how long they will keep these posted after the first of the year you may want to print them off.
