2020 Goal Recap: November
The year is almost over and it was time to buckle down and make some progress on my first goal. I got a boost early in the month from my virtual quilt retreat - I ignored my family and just concentrated on sewing for an entire weekend. And when the retreat ended, I just kept sewing!

Quilts Started
Snowflake quilt! This has been on my to-make list since I first saw it last year and it was finally time to make one up. I couldn't participate in this year's quilt-along because I was working on Camp Stars and Chalk Stars, but now that those are done I got right to work. I didn't do mine in the order of the quilt-along anyway so maybe it's better that I just did it on my own (in a week!).

Quilt Progress (4 WIPs touched)
I made the first group of C blocks for my Plaidish quilt and assembled the "dark" rows. Only 16 blocks and 4 rows to go on this one!
Morewood Mystery Quilt - I have no idea where this is going, but I like what I have so far!

Blocks made for both my memory scrap quilt and leaders and enders quilt. I also added a whole row to the body of the leaders and enders quilt!
Miscellaneous Accomplishments
Masks and drawstring bags - some for people at our house and some shared with others!

Surprise! This ended up being a two-pattern month. I started the month by publishing my Camp Stars quilt pattern and ended it by publishing my Shadow Pinwheel pillow pattern! The second one was a surprise even to me - I was playing with the scraps from my Chalk Stars quilt and loved the resulting pillow so much I decided to share it with all of you. And it's a much simpler pattern than either of the other two (aka no curves!). December will be spent putting the finishing touches on my Chalk Stars pattern - adding fancy diagrams as well as photographs of the finished quilt.
