Dear Jane Quilt - Block H8 Eaton's Crossroad

Here is the final block of this orange draw, H8 Eaton's Crossroads. I looked up Eaton's Crossroads on the internet and it is a real place in the state of Tennessee.  My block doesn't really represent the street map view I found.  Then it made me curious to look up where Tennessee is located in the USA and I was reminded of its music history .. the Dear Jane quilt is a true learning journey.

You will get an insight from this picture of how I approached this block.  I English paper pieced the centre circle cross and then appliqued it on, removing the paper as I went.  I am starting to build up quite a stash of Dear Jane blocks which makes me eager to get more done.

    Adding the circle over the square was quite clever. I've still not done hexie curves - need to get over the nerves as I was gifted the acrylic templates for a curved hexie project I started last year.

    Forgot to add that I LOVE Nashville, Tennessee for their country music scene. I've been twice and hope to go again soon. Will need to look up Eaton's Crossroads...

    It does seem like the more you make the more you NEED to make doesn't it? Love this block too.
