Dear Jane weekend
I remedied my block blunder from earlier this week and finished another D-6 in a fabric I like.
D-7
And, I managed a little forward momentum so I kept working on Dear Jane blocks this weekend and finished D-7 (also hand pieced).
E-8
I am avoiding paper piecing but not machine piecing. Rotary cutting E-8 and I-3 and machine piecing enabled me to finish four whole DJ blocks this weekend. I now have 25 finished blocks. If I make three DJ blocks a week I’ll have the center blocks finished in a year. But, seriously, I predict one more week of DJ progress and then, fickle me, I’ll be lured away by other projects.
I-3
Two weeks running without being lured away – good for you!
You're doing wonderful work on your blocks. Keep it up.
Lovely DJ blocks – great fabrics too
I can so relate to fickle quilter's syndrome! Your DJ blocks are wonderful though. Make a stunning quilt!
What great blocks!!
I haven't worked on my DJ forever! Your blocks are looking great. Maybe we should make a deal – I will make your paper pieced blocks if you make my applique blocks. Lol!
oh just look at these beauties! great fabrics too.
its all a process, some day it will be a quilt!
keep going

Your blocks all look so precisely pieced. I saw a DJ quilt today but only part of the center was showing. I'm fickle too but I'm cheering you on.
Ohhhhh Liking I-3 , D-7 ,the pink in D-6 🙂
These all look so good! Congrats on your finished for the week. I do love the red especially in the last block.
Stunning…love the reds.
I like your first pink fabric – so much that I have used mine all up!
But how fun to have these spurts of progress, and a variety of projects from which to choose. I have had the Dear Jane book since …well. forever, but I haven't made a single block. Your blocks look great!
Your blocks are lovely! Great reds!
Your blocks look wonderful!! Love the reds!! It will be lovely whenever you finish!!
I know the feeling of having a large project with lots of little bits. But sooner or later (probably later for you yet) there is some point when a project is 2/3? 3/4? 7/8? done and the momentum keeps pushing and you finally finish. I love that sense of momentum. I wish I could bottle it up and apply it to other projects, or even the housework! The blocks look great!
