| Dear Jane Block storage |
Yes, here you see my Dear Jane blocks carefully stacked on a random shelf sharing the space with wadding offcuts and an empty mug. This is the real world. I now have just over 200 of these and the thought of laying them out for an Anniversary special was too much. I asked my new Windows 10 assistant, Cortana, if she wanted to do it, but she seemed to lack enthusiasm also. However, Electric Quilt 5 - Dear Jane Edition was up for the challenge and has provided me with this update.

My blogging of my blocks is hopelessly lagging behind the actual completion of the blocks and the data in this table reflects this.

Also the Border triangle extras, sashing and cornerstones are no really going to get me far once I start trying to piece this beauty together. I need some discipline on working on these.
So, overall, I am pleased with my progress and hope that within weeks (yes, weeks!) I hope to be able to layout all the blocks and triangles to start planning how I will put them together.
Congratulations Frances on your progress over the last year - I certainly admire your stamina! I look forward to watching it grow further over the next few weeks.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary to you!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou've made great progress this year but I don't envy you having to sew all the blocks together and then take all the papers out. That would require a VERY good movie or 3 to get me motivated to remove papers.
Ah... still the sashing and cornerstones to do... there are quite a lot of them I seem to remember....in fact I miscalculated mine and had to do more.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I love the EQ5 progress graphic. I am gradually getting to grips with it as I plan to start a DJ in the not too distant future. Thanks for the continued inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it has been a year! I would say that is atomic speed, especially considering it has all been by hand. Remarkable. Congratulations!
