Dear Jane, 108 Blocks Plus 5 Border Triangles

At our January meeting, our Dear Jane Bee host Jan made us all fabric organizers for sewing notions and also gave us a mug for the organizer to attach to.  The organizer attaches to the mug with a Velcro strap under the handle of the mug and is really cute.  Here are two pictures showing what the organizer looks like out flat and in use attached to the mug.

Thanks very much Jan, I have been using mine every since!

I didn't go to our Dear Jane Bee meeting in February because the weather was rain, ice pellets and freezing rain, but I sewed along at home and we sent pictures of our completed blocks back and forth which was fun.



The last time I blogged about Dear Jane was in early October when I had 95 blocks and 1 border triangle done.  I now have 108 blocks and 5 border triangles done which means I have 13 blocks and 4 triangles which I have not yet shown.  Here they are in reverse order of completion.


E12  I paper pieced the centre braided looking area and pieced the rest.

I12  I paper pieced this block.  There are 32 tiny triangles, eight small red triangles surrounded by three black triangles!

I2  I pieced this simple nine patch in a square-in-a-square setting.

H12  I turned under the edges of the applique hearts around a freezer paper template using starch and the iron.  Still not my favourite thing to do....

H2  I paper pieced this block.  Very different angles than are usually sewn.  Not 90° or 60°.

F2  I paper pieced this block.

F12   I paper pieced this block too.

G12  I pieced the background and than appliqued the star on top.

G2  I pieced 1 hourglass block and 12 half-square-triangle blocks.

L11  I paper pieced this block.

L3   I paper pieced this block too.

TR8  I paper pieced and appliqued this triangle.

L10  I paper pieced this one.  I think it looks like a satellite!

L4  I pieced this one.

TR7   I paper pieced this triangle.  I also changed the top shape to a triangle instead of a curve.

I just discovered I don't have a picture of two of my triangles TR6 and TR9.  I also don't have a picture of my quilt to date and it is now night.  I will do another post tomorrow with the two triangles and what the quilt looks like now!
