Design Wall Monday - November goals

A new month deserves a new list . . . so I've gathered my list of projects for November. There is a LOT on this one as usual, but much of it involves finishing something already started anyway.  And there is the potential for a lot of binding in November.


One of the projects I want to move to at least the flimsy stage is this one.  It's a UFO churn dash wall hanging, with applique added from leftover bits and pieces from a recent project.  I've been pinning the parts on, but still need more leaves cut from a variety of greens.  And there will be brown oval centers on the flowers.  Definitely a "design as I sew" kind of project. 

Here is what I'll be playing with in November . . . 

  • Keep up with the Blockheads weekly blocks - 2 blocks remaining
  • Finish stitching on embellished jean jacket
  • Borders on Cactus In the Cabin quilt
  • Rainbow Scrap Challenge
    • Make more Dresden blocks
    • Make a couple more "test" blocks for 2026
  • QOV projects
    • Ribbon - assemble rows from blocks
    • Shadowed Star - finish blocks
  • bind Jamie's Lone Star wall hanging
  • bind Candy Lane quilt 
  • bind Eye of God wall hanging
  • bind Churn Dash kid donation quilt
  • WIP and PIG progress (including kits)
    • Finish pinwheel Christmas stocking
    • Finish Bah Humbug pillow
    • Quilt & bind Wedge placemats (4)
    • Quilt & bind pink/black/white placemat
    • Christmas ornament 60 degree runner
    • Churn Dash & Orange Blossom wall hanging
  • NEW PROJECT - begin Christmas 3-yard quilt

Love the Churn Dash with flowers. I imagine an interesting series could occur, maybe seasonal.

WOW! That is a long list for a busy month! I love the churn dash/applique block. It is wonderful. I hope you get it finished this month. And, make a dent in your long list.

This quilt top with the applique is gorgeous--good progress and knowing you are nearing a finish is good incentive!

The Dresden flowers are wonderful on the churn-and-nines background! You have an ambitious list but knowing you, you'll get to all of 'em.

That quite a long list, Sara, but the churn dash you have a good start on is adorable!!!

That is so pretty with the orange flowers against the black and white! Good luck with your list - it's always good to have some plans to go by!

I would have flipped the flowers with the cone on top but that is just me...:)

Your left overs wall hanging is coming along beautifully. Good luck with all your November plans.
