Design Wall Monday 11/25/13

I'm designing a quilt for a guild challenge and trying to figure out how to make a certain part of it.
So here's what I have on my design wall as I try to get the right sized blocks assembled:

This one turned out a whole inch smaller than I need.  What do you call that unit to the left of the blue triangle - the one with the square and two triangles?  Is there a name to it? Already have an orphan block for my first attempt - lol.

Happy Thanksgiving to all later this week!

Look What I Got

Here's what I won at the Guild's Holiday Exchange:

It's machine embroidered and I love it!  Thank you so much, Deanna!  If you missed it, the one I made to exchange is back on last Friday's post.

This past week, I was finishing things, but not using any stash.  All I used was a few bits for my hexies, a few bits for my LE and an 1/8 for binding my quiltlet.  Here are my numbers:
 

in 0.0 yds.; out .25 yds.

Stash in YTD: in 9.0 yds., out YTD 108.58 yds.

Donated YTD: 51.26 yds

Net for 2013: out 99.58 yds

Tiny bit of progress. I'll have to dig into my stash and make something for Christmas to get me to/over my goal!

I'm linking to Judy's Patchwork Times. It's kind of scary when you see there are only 5 weeks left of 2013. Oh and the Giving Thanks Blog Hop is still going on. Head on over and enter the over 160 giveaways!  Button at top of right sidebar.

Finish it Up Friday Finish FMQued

I did finish my Christmas Candle quiltlet.  Measured 12" square.

 

Got stolen twice so I guess they liked it.  Wish I had quilted it a bit more nearer to the candle.

 

Here's what the back looks like.  I'll show you what I got next week.
