I have been busy trying to finish some outstanding UFO's in my project cupboard, the ones that really only need half a day on them to actually be finished and have been added to my To DO list daily for the past year.  Meanwhile I will tyr in fit in these Dear Jane blocks - I definitely do not want that to become a UFO.

Dear Jane Quilt - Border Triangle Block BR11 Tartan

Dear Jane Quilt - Border Triangle Block BR11 Tartan

Summer has arrived in the UK.  It is always a surprise when it does.  We spend the year (or more) longing for it and then when it comes we are wholly unprepared and cease to function properly.  Not to worry, it should be over by the weekend.

This is Dear Jane border triangle BR11 Tartan.  I have always liked a purple tartan, so this worked out well.

Dear Jane Quilt - Border Triangle Block TR3 Checkerboard

Here is Dear Jane border triangle, TR3 Checkerboard in purple fabrics.

I have been doing my Dear Jane blocks for 11 months now and good progress has been made by steadily working through each block and not taking my eye off the ball.  There are plenty of sewing distractions and other projects I am very tempted by, but Dear Jane is always at the forefront.  I have an afternoon of hand sewing (slow Stitching) planned watching the Tour de France cyclists sweat it out in the French countryside.

Techniques: English Paper Piecing and Applique
Pieces: 26 pieces
