Mary love your Dear Jane quilt blocks. The colors you chose are beautiful. You have really been busy on it. I need to get her out of the closet and back to working on her. I am sure she thinks I have forgotten about her.

Sherry, I didn't exactly 'choose' my colors. I was in a hurry as we were leaving for the south for the winter the year DH gave me the book for Christmas so I just dumped all my scraps and small pieces of fabric into a tote and I sewed what I had with me! and that's how I decided my color scheme! lol! But I think this quilt would look so good in 30's reproduction, brights, earth tones, blues, Civil War, batiks, or just about any theme. I know of one person at home, and she's posted here a few times, Jodi, who I think is doing it as a BOM in blues and her sister is doing it in earth tones. Or vice versa. Or maybe in wine/beige colors. As they say, "it's all good!"

Here's a picture of Carole's Dear Jane Quilt, she says: Dear Jane 5"blocks are done. Now it will take another year or so to get the side triangles done. Started this two yrs ago.

Carole, congratulations! you did it!! It's beautiful!! So are you starting on your triangle blocks now or are you going to take a "Jane Break" for a while?

Mary. I have already started with the first Top left triangle. I just cut the 10 hexi pieces out and will do them by hand. I am taking my time with them, lots of time. Will work on them every now and then. I figure another year will go by and a lot of wine before they are done. LOL

I love the colors you used in yours, but you have such an eye for color. Well, my dear, even if we never get them done(and I am sure we will) we accomplished something with just the 5" blocks. I did end up putting them in order and it worked out well. Remember I was afraid I would have too many of the same color together. Didn't happen too often so it worked out.

I've started on my triangle blocks. Five done and a sixth sitting on the machine. Whew! They are intense little buggers!

Carole, I didn't start with a corner. But maybe this week, I'll go back and do the first one. I think we'll both finish our quilts and probably about the same time - in the future.

I write the block number in a seam allowance with a thin Sharpie so I can keep them in order. What did you do to keep them in sequence?

[carole]

Mary, I just attached a small piece of paper with the number on the front of the block. Original Huh?????
