Week 11: Preparation


Week Eleven
This is not an easy week. Two advanced blocks, two rare two colour blocks, inset seams, curved piecing and some teeny weenie pieces.
 
Making blocks C10, C13, C11, D1, D2, and D4. Well not D4 I did that last week as a swap block. D4 is now orange not red and in slot D3 on the quilt.

There are very few two coloured blocks in the Dear Jane quilt. Some I decided to make one colour but I felt D2 needed the extra colour. It's an advanced block and the extra colour helps spoint out the dificult bits in the block. Without the orange it blends together. C13 also needed the extra colour. The green really makes those cornerstones pop.

Week Ten: Finished

This one went a bit wrong coming together but not enough to redo it.

BR2 Leigh's Woods

I have now finished 17% of the blocks in my Dear Jane quilt.

Week Ten: TR9

TR9 Needle's Point

This one was a bit tricky. Easy paper piecing and the middle diamond is reverse applique. My best reverse applique to date!

Week Ten: C5

This is the block which caused a minor breakdown or a major tantrum depending on how charitable you are feeling towards me.

Oops

As you can see I made a four square block instead of a pinwheel block and didn't notice until I was trimming and pressing the "finished" block. What a maroon. eh Doc?

C5 Eye if the Cyclone

Huge difference between this and the first block. I really don't know where my head is sometimes.

This is a very neat block. Love the design. I am very fond of curves and pinwheels so this is definitely a favorite. That wonkiness in the top right quad is from the scanner the block lays nice and flat in person.

Week Ten: Blog Catch Up

Wow I hadn't realized just how far behind I had gotten on the blog. A whole week longer than I am behind in the project. Ouch.

Plus Miss Thing finally fell asleep and I am afraid to use the scanner for fear she will wake up. I'm working on it but this is going to take longer than I hoped. So nothing new unfortunately.

Progress Report

Project Dear Jane:
Yes I am behind. But! Last night I completed the final block for week twelve so I am finally making progress. The new printer works great and I am no longer sick so I shouldn't have any more issues. The timetable is very doable I just have to do it. Throughout today (and probably tomorrow) I will be scanning and posting all the blocks I haven't put on the blog yet.

Project Learning to Knit:
Yes I am still learning to knit. A baby is on the way in the family and I am working on a couple hats and possibly some booties. I am still plugging away at Isabelle's blanket and I will get back to my Fearless Knitting as soon as I finish the baby things for Hazel (who is due to arrive in June). I would also like to start on some Christmas Balls I saw in a super cool book but not until I finish Isabelle's blanket.

Project Scrapbook:
Obviously as a member of DSP's DET I am making pages almost everyday. I promise to start posting them here as well. I have been good about posting them on Pinterest.
