November's Goal Met! -- "Otherness"

 I have to say this was a fun goal to work on, and I'm glad I finished it.  It was outside my comfort zone, but something I want to do more of.  The little art quilt I started for my sister last April has been pinned and basted for a long time.  I had tried to do a little free motion quilting on it and hated it so much I ripped it all out and threw it into a pile of "stuff!"

Starting over, I decided to take it one section at a time and see what happens.


























Straight-line quilting gets a little boring, but it sure looks good!



















Once I had the binding on it still needed a little something so I dug out the BeJeweler I bought and never used.  (I have tons of tools, notions, and rulers that have yet to be removed from their original packaging.  I bet other quilters never do that!)




















That was fun!  It's a good thing I'm not a sweatshirt gal or I might have been up all night BeJewelling away.


























I did "just enough" to give it a little pizzazz.  

























I call it "Otherness" which is a word I came across in a novel and loved.  It perfectly fits my sister.  I can't wait to see this hanging in her home. 

I am linking up with the ALYoF November Finishes Party at Fiber of All Sorts.   My original goal was #66 and my finish is #41.

Just the right amount of bejeweling. I love straight line quilting and can't wait for the day when I can play around with it. Great finish. I am sure your sister is going to love this one.
