Dear Jane Quilt - Draw 47 - B1, C9, C11, D2
Dear Jane Quilt - Draw 46 - G2, G9, I4, L5 |
Now I am nearing the end of these Dear Jane blocks, I would say that the Dear Jane quilt is harder than the 'Nearly Insane' quilt because of the variety of stitch techniques you need to complete it. Nearly Insane is all piecing but because the blocks are bigger (6") they are something to get your teeth into and can take a couple of days to complete. On the other hand you can often fit a Dear Jane block in a day, so it feels like you are finishing them quicker (but you aren't because there are so many of them!) . Just saying ...
Onto the next Draw
Draw 47
B1 - Batchelor ButtonsDraw 47
C9 - Jane's Tears
C11 - Soldiers and Sailors Monument
D2 - Mouse in the Mirror
This draw comes with a RED ALERT applique warning, but I am looking forward to it as there are actually only a few pieces in each block.
This Draw will be in YELLOW

Dear Jane Quilt - Block G9 Mary's Journey
Dear Jane Quilt - Block G9 Mary's Journey |
As you know I am over a year into this project but I have yet to actually 'read' the Dear Jane book and I am wondering if that will ever happen. Have you read the book? Have you read the book and not made the quilt? Have you made the quilt and like me, never read it?

Dear Jane Quilt - Border Triangle Block TR10 Precious Gems |
This is Dear Jane Border triangle TR10 Precious Gems, quite simple for a border block and the last one in this blue set.
I will be doing some Slow Stitching today. Some slow,because I am procrastinating, some slow, because it is gentle hand stitching.

Dear Jane Quilt - Border Triangle Block BR4 Candy Dish
Dear Jane Quilt - Border Triangle Block BR4 Candy Dish |
My Dear Jane quilt won't be ready for an exhibitions in November, but it really is close to having all the central blocks completed. It is my birthday in a few weeks time, so look out for the birthday special!
Meanwhile, another day, another Dear Jane block. This one is BR4 Candy Dish, using all those lovely Kim Diehl blue fabrics. It is all English paper pieced as usual, but I did applique the little shape on the top of the block.

Dear Jane Quilt - Block B12 Starflower
It is back to applique with Dear Jane block B12, Starflower. These appliqued melons were slimmer than the previous one in this set, so a bit more concentration on the points. But don't you love the fussy cut centre?
It is September now. I usually see September as the start of my New Year. I have a few things to look forward to, but it means back to work also. Real world progress with Dear Jane is looking good with just 16 blocks to go.
