Dear Jane Quilt - Draw 21 - H3, L7, I10, J7

Dear Jane Quilt - Draw 20 TR1, TR13, BR1, BR13 Triangles

Another set of border triangles down.

I was away on a sewing retreat last week and I only managed to do one Dear Jane block because I didn't have time cut any beforehand. I was gutted. This has been put right now and I have plenty of supplies for the next few weeks. So onto the next Draw.

Draw 21
H3 - Berry's Baskets
L7 - Town Square
I10 - Iris' Medallion
J7 - Chicken Treats

This Draw is Orange. Yes, Orange again, but going back to the 6 Month report you will see that there are many more orange blocks than any other in my design.

Dear Jane Quilt - Border Triangle Block TR13 Eiffel Tower

I have done a slight adaptation on this Dear Jane triangle border block, TR13 Eiffel Tower. I will leave the Dear Jane Quilt Police to work it out. There appear to be as many pieces as the original, so I don't consider it to be too much of a cheat.

Techniques: Appliqué and English Paper Piecing

Dear Jane Quilt - Border Triangle Block TR1 Spanish Moss

This is triangle block TR1, Spanish Moss. Lots of thin bits on this one, which is a bit wayward now, but should be pulled in once part of the border.

Spanish Moss

Spanish Moss is not a plant that is common in the UK, so I did a bit of research and found out that it native to north and south America and is not a 'moss' or a 'lichen' but an 'air plant', living off nutrients in the air and from rainfall. As you can see, it hangs from trees, so maybe I should have turned mine 180 degrees.

Dear Jane Quilt - Border Triangle Block BR1 Rosemary's Rainbow

In my head there is still the myth that the Dear Jane triangles are hard. This one only had eleven pieces in it.
