Dear Jane Quilt - Block L12 Sally's Pride

Dear Jane Quilt - Block L12 Sally's Pride
Those little corner triangles are by no means perfect and the mental effort they consumed were really a step too far.   However, it has been a while since I actually completed this Dear Jane block, L12 Sally's Pride, so much of the pain has been forgotten.
Getting back to the Dear Jane cutting out I have been doing recently, I am starting to get a feel for the fabric requirements you actually need for the Dear Jane quilt.  I save all my scraps in a basket as I cut out and with so many itsy bitsy pieces in this quilt, the scraps have come in useful.  English Paper Piecing seems to be a fairly efficient way of constructing this quilt in terms of fabric requirements.  I bought 'extra' fabric when I started out on this project and it looks like there are going to be many Kim Diehl quilt projects in the future.

Techniques: English Paper Piecing and Applique
Pieces: 27 pieces

    I'm sorry that my commenting isn't as diligent as your DJ sewing! I'm so impressed with your commitment to this project, can't wait to see it all together.

    Do share! How much fabric do you think you would actually need for the blocks and also the background? Just discovered your blog, can't wait to read back.
