Dear Jane Quilt - Border Triangle Block RR10 Grandma Nana's Bodice

Dear Jane Quilt - Border Triangle Block  RR10 Grandma Nana's Bodice

If you are stopping by today to see my latest Dear Jane block, please take note of the fussy cutting of the little white dots.  This is all English Paper Piecing, except for the tan triangle on the bottom which is appliqued.  The blue triangles throughout are all slightly different, so do mark them if you are attempting this block.

Back when I was stitching my Nearly Insane quilt blocks I used to complain if a block had less than 50 pieces in it.  This Dear Jane border triangle, RR10 Grandma Nana's Bodice, has just 17 pieces in it.

Techniques: English Paper Piecing
Pieces: 17

After the tiny pieces Virginia's Kite, RR4 Dutch Apron was a quick and easy border triangle to complete.  I also really like the light blue Kim Diehl fabric on this one.

Twenty days into January and I finally think I have finally reached to point I had hoped to be when the year started. I am now thinking about what projects I could be working on besides my Dear Jane.  Having quilted a couple of Lori Holt quilts for my long arm customers I am tempted to do the Bloom Quiltalong which started on Monday.  There some other Quiltalongs starting in January - are you following any of them?

I haven't done any applique for Dear Jane for a while, so I wasn't really looking forward to starting these triangle border blocks with a load of applique as part of the package. As it happens it was the piecing that proved more challenging.

This is a photo of one of the very little pieces which went into this block.  It is amazing how something so small can be so intimidating - a bit like a creepy crawly.  But, as I have said before, once it is sewn to another piece it is no longer small.

Finally catching up with some blogging.  Here are the Dear Jane blocks from Draw 15.  Quite a simple round with a couple of 9-patch blocks.

However, Draw 16 is a set of the border triangles
