Dear Jane Quilt - Block C6 Ashley's Aura

I have been away in London for Christmas. I stayed with my sister and we went to Midnight Mass at St Paul's Cathedral, saw Star Wars: The Force Awakens and saw the Christmas illuminations at Kew Gardens - all great stuff!

The trip up and down the motorway provided a good few hours hand sewing, and the post Christmas dinner phase is always a good time to do some quiet hand piecing on Dear Jane. This little block, C6 Ashley's Aura, has been hanging around for a while, whilst I gathered strength to put all my focus to it. Once I started it wasn't as bad as I had first envisioned.

Here is an 'in progress' photograph so that you can see how I approached this block. Just four pieces appliqued onto the background all sounds simple, but as you know, not so simple for me.

A few days at home lie ahead, so I hope to get back on track with the Dear Jane quilt, along with keeping up with Bonnie Hunter's Allietare Mystery Quilt.

Techniques: English Paper Piecing
Pieces: 5

How wonderful to have Christmas in London - must have been magical! We enjoyed Star Wars on Boxing Day here.
A lovely block and interesting method of ensuring accurate applique placement.
