Dear Jane Quilt - Block D2 Mouse in the Mirror

Dear Jane Quilt - Block D2 Mouse in the Mirror
There was no applique in this little Dear Jane block,  D2 Mouse in the Mirror, but a few little tiny triangles to cope with.

The colours of this block are quite autumnal and as we entered October this weekend, it made me think that if Bonnie Hunter is running her Mystery quilt this year, in three months time we would have had the BIG REVEAL.  Still deciding if I will join in this year and keeping a eye out for any news.

I had a little smile this morning as I browsed through my blogs.  Whilst those of you in the southern hemisphere are seeing the first signs of Spring, up here in the Northern hemisphere we are starting to fish clothes out of our winter wardrobes as the nights close in and the first signs of Autumn emerge.  As I look out of my window now, it looks 'damp'.

Here is some more applique for Dear Jane block C11 Soldiers and Sailors Monument.

No tears for me on this Dear Jane block, C9 Jane's Tears.  Moderate success with the fussy cutting, but again just 5 pieces.
