Dear Jane Quilt - Block I6 Viewer's Choice

Dear Jane Quilt - Block I6 Viewer's Choice

I think you are getting the idea. Dear Jane block I6 Viewer's Choice was done exactly the same way as the last block.

I am hoping to get in a bit of Dear Jane stitching today so maybe a bit of Slow Stitching Sunday for me.

Dear Jane Quilt - Block B8 Water Lily

Dear Jane Quilt - Block B8 Water Lily

Once you have done Dear Jane block C7 Megan's Mountain Laurel, all these others seem quite easy.  This Dear Jane block is B8 Water Lily.  I English paper pieced the centre shape and then appliqued it on to the background.  Then another round of nicely sized melons for an applique fix.

Dear Jane Quilt - Block D4 Crystal Star

Here is Dear Jane block D4 Crystal Star.  This one is only 17 pieces and once the block is stitched together, the melons are appliqued onto the corners, neatly covering up the seam lines and making it easy for accurate placement.

Dear Jane Quilt - Block C7 Megan's Mountain Laurel

This is Dear Jane block, C7 Megan's Mountain Laurel.  There was a choice here of piecing those diamonds or appliquing them.  Either way it was dealing with tiny pieces. I went the applique route, but I don't think either way was an easy option.  Over at The Objects of Design, Sally has opted for the piecing route, stabilizing her stitching with Molly fur.  The good news is that we both survived block C7 Megan's Mountain Laurel and we can move onto the next block.
