November Finishes

I had better report this finish before this month ends. I've finally finished Bonnie Hunter's 2015 Mystery Quilt, Grand Illusion. 

It finished at 92" x 92", and I used up 17 yards of stash. I am getting closer to the 100 yard dash...(85 yards so far)






I really like the quilting design used. It completely filled the quilt.




I was originally going to bind it using the pinks - all I had were scraps - so I decided upon this black/turquoise/yellow check instead and it worked perfectly.   

 



Now that it is finished, I can join in on Bonnie's new mystery without any convictions that I should finish previous mystery projects. <grin> As if that ever stopped me!

This was my number 2 project for 4th Quarter Finish Goals. You can visit other bloggers taking the Finish Along Challenge at She Can Quilt.

Other near finishes were my Pumpkin Seeds quilt top. I did not get a chance to quilt this before Christmas sewing came about. It is hung with it's future backing for next year. (number 4 of my 4th Quarter Finish Goals)




And I made two table-toppers for Christmas (not on my goal list). These were kits I've had stored and finally broke them out to complete. I have the Christmas Tree Topper nearly quilted and ready for binding.




This kit I purchased during a shop hop at a ridiculous cheap price so now it is pieced and ready to be quilted. Hopefully before Christmas.

  
Still have a few more near finishes to report. I'll post again soon.
