Dear Jane Quilt, C8, C9, C10, C11 & D11

I made C8 last Thursday at my Dear Jane Group meeting.  I used Susan Gatewood's instructions to paper piece the centre of the block.

I also made C10 at my Dear Jane Group by making four over sized half square triangles and trimming them down to size and simply piecing this block.  I purposely switched the background fabric and the main fabric as I felt the block would have been too dark otherwise.

On Monday I made two more Dear Jane Blocks and started a third.  I made C9 by glue basting the applique shapes over freezer paper forms and machine sewing them in place.  Applique is not my strong suit.

I made C11 with my Drunkard's block templates making them a little oversize and trimming them down.  I sewed them without pinning thanks to all my practise with curved piecing making a Metro Rings/Double Wedding Ring quilt.

I finished D11 on Tuesday and because of all the weird and wonderful shapes and angles on this one I chose to use Susan Gatewood's paper piecing templates.

Here are all the blocks I have made so far.  You can see my Bonnie Hunter Good Fortune quilt behind it on my design wall.  I didn't realise the focus went fuzzy on the right hand side, but you can still see the colours.  Clearly applique and photography are both not my strong suits.

I am still really enjoying making each and every new Dear Jane Block.  It's like starting a new quilt each time.
