Dear Jane Quilt - Block M4 Stepping Stones

Dear Jane Quilt - Block M4 Stepping Stones

Here is block M4 Stepping Stones for my Dear Jane quilt.  With all its papers in it looks like it is squeezed into its 4.5" square - obviously too much to eat over the holiday period.

Just as a reminder that this is mainly being done using the English Paper Piecing method, here is a picture of the back of the block.  Quite tiny pieces in this one, which was a bit of a shock to the system after such an easy run lately.

Allietare Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt 2015 - Part 6, Border, Quilting and Finished!

Allietare Mystery Quilt 2015 - Fabadashery

It is finished!
In my last post I had the Allietare quilt top almost done, but I was pondering on the borders.  I devised something a bit different to the ones offered in Bonnie's original design which I am really pleased with.  Don't ask me for dimensions or instructions - I really don't know how I did it.  All I do know is that I had a lot of bias edges to deal with during the quilting process!


80's by 80's superfine cotton lawn - Great Flower Designs

Back in November when I had chosen my colour scheme for the Allietare Mystery quilt, I picked up a couple of metres of this fabric at the Knitting and Stitching Show with the intention of using as my backing.  It is superfine cotton lawn which is lightweight and soft - it feels lovely.

Using my long arm quilting machine I have quilted an all over swirl and feather pantograph, Wave on Wave by Patricia Ritter.

So it is quilted, the binding is on and I have even made the label for it.  I hope to get it on the bed tonight. Thanks again to Bonnie Hunter for gifting this pleasure to us all.

Dear Jane Quilt - Block K12 Doris's Dilemma

Dear Jane Quilt - Block K12 Doris's Dilemma

I am not sure what Doris's Dilemma was.  All I had to worry about was whether to have an orange square or a tan square.  When you have a Dear Jane block as simple as this you wonder why every quilter in the world hasn't completed a Dear Jane quilt.
