2019 Monthly Color Challenge-November

Another fun block from Jen for this month's Color Challenge.  I made myself a cup of coffee and got to work pulling fabrics from my stash for this one.  Our color for Novemeber is yellow.  That used to be my favorite color as a girl, such a bright and cheery hue.  It certainly stands out this time of year as the colors of autumn take over the landscape.

Jen chose Black-eyed Susan as the flower to represent this month's color.  So when I looked at my stash I was drawn to the more toned down yellows, the ones that have a more golden color.

I loved this one so much I made two.  Here is my yellow block for November.

And then I made one adding a touch of brown into the mix
​which reminded me of the center of Black-eyed Susans.

I did find that if I fanned the seams where all the points come together the block laid flat instead of having that bulky bump.  This did mean that on some of them I had to clip to the stitching to allow the seam to lay in the right direction when pressed.

Here you can see how I pressed the seams on the whole block.

This was a really fun block to make.  I love how you can put Half-square Triangles together and come out with so many different patterns.
