The Center is Finished



It is hard to believe that the center of my "Baby Jane" only took 6 months to complete. It will probably take 6 months to complete the outside triangles and corner pieces. I am going to scan the finished blocks and take them down from the wall. Then I will begin to piece them together.

This is the block (M-7) that was the most difficult to me. I ended up using reverse applique on all the pieces because the corners were so sharp. It was probably a good thing that I left this one to the very last or I may not have ever finished this project.

Two Left, but who is counting!!!!!


Only two blocks left.....it is almost sad to be this close to finishing the center. At this point I hope I have the courage to press on and do the outside triangles.

Only Four Left to Finish


I have been wanting to start a blog with my "Dear Jane" quilt but the longer I waited the closer I got to being finished with the center. I am now just four blocks from finishing the center.


I have been reading the other blogs that are posted on "That Quilt" blog and have enjoyed and been inspired by what others have accomplished. Hopefully my stitching will inspire others. I think that this will be a fun way to show my work without boring those who are not interested. A sort of bragging forum that is appreciated by others.

My "Baby Jane" is done in black, red, and white. It follows the "trip" pattern in rows around the center. I have not yet decided how I will alternate the triangles around the outside. I guess that that will depend on how much of each fabric I have left of the eleven different fabrics I have used so far.
