More Blocks

I’ve been a bit slow on the blogging lately, but on most days have managed to do a little bit of sewing.
Went to a Sew in Day last Saturday run by Pine Valley Quilts and managed to make 2 more in my Dear Jane Blocks Journey.  I started this
quilt way back when, and have just gotten the urge to get back to it.
Made another couple in the last day or soDear Jane 3
These blocks are 4 1/2” finished.Dear Jane 001
Dear Jane 4 Dear Jane 002 I was so annoyed with myself making this block ( above) I had 3/4’s of it pieced when I realised I had printed the pattern out at 6 “ instead of 4 1/2” . I finished it to go in the UFO draw, and remade it in the smaller size.
I also managed to get my Barbara Brackman Civil War Block made.
This is Week 8 and is called COTTON BOLLCivil War Not so good in the centre matching, but I think I’m O.K. with it. I may tweek it a little before I piece the quilt!
I haven’t done any Nearly Insane Blocks this week so must get on and do one in the weekend.
Thanks for dropping by  best signature

Enjoyed seeing your Dear Jane blocks, I have yet to start on that journey, even though I have been collecting fabrics for it for several years!!!

The Dear Jane blocks are just wonderful and what a challenge making them to such a small block size. I like your Cotton Boll and I too didn't centre my centre exact but I can live with it.

It has been devastating watching the news from Christchurch - the city where my paternal Grandfather was born and our thoughts, prayers and hopes are with everyone concerned. Take care.
