November CQJP block pieced

I started piecing my November block for CQJP a few weeks ago and finished it this weekend. I will embroider the name of my city and state in the arc of the fan. I traced the words using a fine black marker, like I did for my kids' names and birthdays on their blocks. Then the embroidery will be in black floss. I've blurred out that part for privacy, which is why it has that black marbled-look. The fabric is actually a cream dupioni silk. You can see what it looks like over on the left side of the block.

I've been taking advantage of having extra time off work (or am I just procrastinating doing Christmas stuff? LOL). I'm off to go work some more on my AP&Q Mystery Quilt...

Happy stitching!
