November Blues and the Charity Quilt

I don't have the blues; I'm talking about these November Blues for Anthea:


So looking forward to seeing these all put together, it should be a stunning quilt!

And I finally got around to making my 12.5" charity blocks. Because it could have taken me days to decide on what blocks to make, I decided I would grab one of my magazines, and the first two 12" blocks I found would be the blocks I made. The issue I pulled had this "Sparkler" block:


and I happened to have both a yellow & a blue alphabet fabric by the same designer as the focus fabric that Jennifer chose for this year's charity quilt; my finished Sparkler block:


and the same magazine had this Churn Dash pattern in 12":


and again I dug into the scrap basket to make this fun block:


These four blocks made a good dent in my ever-growing scrap pile!  Now to make up the December block and get them all off in the mail...

Merry Christmas,
Doris
