Oops, Monday came and went without my posting progress on Dear Jane blocks.

| Block K-2 |
Block K-2 starts with 1 1/8" strips which I mistakenly cut at 1 1/4" and didn't notice until I had finished sub cutting them. The block came out to be a perfect 5" before adding the 7/8" outer strips so I left it as is. All the blocks will end up having sashing anyway which should make everything OK. Directions for this block (and a picture of how the block is supposed to look) can be found at
That Quilt.

| Block K-12 |
For block K-12, I used instructions from a long ago Dear Jane class. Even though I followed the directions carefully, my block looks off so I may redo it using the method of That Quilt's site. That's what I get for avoiding paper piecing whenever possible.

| Up to 26 blocks now |
I've made 26 Dear Jane blocks so far....that's more than 10 percent! I'm trying not to let this fact overwhelm me ;-)))
Michelle took this week off to make Christmas gifts, but I know
Cindy has some blocks to share.
Thanks for stopping by,
A friend is trying to convince me to start Dear Jane...loving your blocks!
ReplyDeletePerhaps after I finish my 100 modern blocks, and the farmers wife quilt, I'll be good enough for dear Jane. Love yours
ReplyDeleteI really like the fabrics you are choosing for these blocks, Rene'.
