There are going to be about 56 draws for this Dear Jane quilt and Draw 36 represents about 62% of the way through.  With Draw 35 complete I have done 137 blocks, with progress recorded as a visual update on the sidebar and a building collection of these sets of four on my Dear Jane Pinterest page.

Today the UK is voting to decide whether we remain or leave Europe.  Either way I expect the Dear Jane quilt project to continue.

Draw 36 Border Triangles
TR5 - Michigan Dunes
TR9 - Needlepoint
BR5 - Gay's Glory
BR9 - Sue's Garden

This Draw will be in GREEN.

I think all these border triangles will look fine once they are in place on the quilt, but individually I think some them look a bit weird.  This is LR13 Watermelon with a combination of English Paper Piecing and Applique.

Techniques: English Paper Piecing and Applique

This one is quite complicated to construct.  I added another seam and you definitely need to plan ahead before you stitch it together.

I have been doing some other sewing today - mending trouser pockets for my husband.
