Jane's Addicted - May Update

The Jane's Addicted "key", three new blue diamond blocks, and a new (to me) antique top...

My main layout worksheet: this one shows the large "diamond of diamonds."The idea is that blocks with a diamond motif will form a large diamond (all in blues), and the blocks withan "X" motif will form a large X. The other blocks are more or less organized by motif in "trips" but I will probably still do some rearranging. The outer corners will be mostly tans and browns.

"Arietty's Got a Case of the Cabin Fever" - aka A-9, Cabin Fever

"LulaMae from Tulip, Texas" - aka G-9, Mary's Journey

"Miss Minnie Fay" - aka B-4, Chris's Soccer Field

A few of the prettier fabrics in an antique top I just got from my sister.

My first post!

This is my first post here :)  I just started my Dear Jane journey this year.  I'm using Deb Strains "Coming Home" fabric line for the whole thing.  Well at least that's how I'm starting out, who knows how I'll finish!!

Here's my first 9 blocks.  I do paper piecing when I can, I love paper piecing.  I don't think I'll ever have this many blocks to show at once again :)

A-4, B-13, A-6, C-1

A-8, B-4, C-3

A-1, A-2

I hope to get a couple more done this weekend.  So far so good :)

Here is the rest of row B.

I have joined 3 rows now - can anyone tell me whether you join the rows together with one long strip or in shorter sections? I would like to join the 3 rows together to see how it looks.

These are the blocks B-4 and B-9.

The fabric of the center of the block B-4 is a printed piece fabric, you do not think I did it with patchwork, heh, heh, heh.

My best wishes for a nice New Year's dinner with your loved ones and the beginning of the year is full of joy, family togetherness and health and well continue throughout2012.

A warm hug and happy patchwork,

:) Yasmin :)

Estos son los blocks B-4 y B-9.

La tela del centro del block B-4 es un trozo de tela estampado, no piensen ustedes que yo lo hice con patchwork, je, je, je.

Mis mejores deseos para que tengan una linda cena de Año Nuevo junto a sus seres queridos y que el comienzo del año sea lleno de alegrías, unión familiar y salud y así continúe durante todo el 2012.

Un fuerte abrazo,

:) Yasmin :)

BLOCK B-9

BLOCK B-4

Hey there!

This was a really terrific idea to start this blog. I began my own Janiac journey this August.  I just finished four Baby Janes today, and here is where my rainbow Jane stands:

I am simplifying the fussier blocks when it doesn't change the appearance. For example, if three white pieces are sewn together to make a corner, I just use one white piece. Or, rather than sew two pieces on either side of a melon, I just applique a melon onto a single square (or reverse applique, depending on the result desired).  I might be more fastidious about doing it EXACTLY like the book drafts if I were actually making this with reproduction fabrics. But I'm not, so I'm not.  ;D

Hmm. . . I just saw the note about having the blocks clickable, so here are the 4 I did this week:

I forgot we don't get normal emailed responses from blogs like this. For anyone who's wondering about my progress chart, I use the My Chart feature in my Dear Jane software.
