Small Start

This is my first post to this group.  I finally got around to starting my Traditional Dear Jane.  I have done 8 blocks so far.  My plan is to work concurrently on a 30's Dear Jane, since I'm nuts.  LOL Here are pictures of my blocks.  I hope I did this right.

Some more blocks....on a roll!

I am loving these blocks! I can't believe I have done this many for April!... I have now done 5 blocks for April...so nearly up to my goal of doing one a month. By this I mean its 6 months since I did my last block last year and this month I have done 5. I hope to keep going and the next block is a tricky one. I am doing the blocks by the Central Rows so the next one is C-4 :) I am also trying to do the fabrics similar to Jane's in her quilt as I want the quilt to look very similar to hers....I just love it!

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 :)

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

New Janiac joins the group

Hi, I'm Sandi and I blog at Piecemeal Quilts. On a recent post, LynCC commented and let me know about your group, and boy am I glad she did! Not only is there eye candy galore here, I'm hoping that the inspiration and shared struggle will keep me going on my Plain Jane. Yep - "Plain Jane" is the name I've given it because I'm doing it entirely in solids. I chose a cool colorway comprised of blues, greens, purples and grey with a white background. I have the EQ software so here's an illustration of what it should look like:


I started a little over a year ago with the understanding that I'd do three blocks a week. I planned it all out ('cause I'm a planner!) with charts and color placement and degree of difficulty. That lasted a little over a month, then I got to my first applique block. Mmm, applique, not so much. I tried skipping on to another pieced block, but other things happened and I sort of lost my quilting mojo. For eight months I wallowed in the bog of uninspiration, until finally I finished a quilt for my own bed. Finishes are invigorating, aren't they? At our next quilting day, I polished off two Jane blocks, and did another a week later. I also got moving on some other projects, and - woohoo! - the quilting mojo is back! Here's what I have for blocks so far:


Not a lot, just sixteen blocks, but I really like the colors and as long as I keep in mind that this is a (VERY) long term project, I think I'll stay on track. So... thanks for the inspiration, and the opportunity to share my Jane journey with you!

These two blocks are my contribution for the month of January. These blocks I did with Paper Piecing technique and following the most that I can the original colors ofthe quilt DJ.

I take this opportunity to wish you a successful and prosperous in all respects by 2012.

A hug,

Yasmin

Estos dos blocks son mi aporte para el mes de Enero. Estos blocks yo los hice con la técnica Paper Piecing y siguiendo lo más que puedo los colores originales de la colcha DJ.

Aprovecho esta oportunidad para desearles un exitoso y próspero año 2012 en todos sus aspectos.

Un abrazo,

I have the colours around the wrong way on this one.  I may redo or I may leave it.  It will depend on what sashing I use.

I have been busy today finishing off a few projects which have taken me away from Jane for a few days. I bought some new Liberty fabric 1/8th's the other day so I have used one of these for the first row C block.

I will also add a few more blocks from row A, which I completed a while ago......
