Some Good Catching Up Progress

Woowoo! I got 10 babies finished up this week that were lurking in my hand-stitch tote. Heather thinks this set is rather Transformer-ish. Too bad that top green one isn't bigger for the head.  ;D

Here are the individuals. The top one - well, I bust  up laughing when I read a note I'd put in the book when I bought it 2 years ago. Scott was sitting next to me while I was perusing it, and when he saw the G-5 block, he said: "This is what it would look like if a quilt farted."

Justin's Comet

Let me start by saying, I've always avoided mitered corners (unless binding) or set in corners, whatever the correct term is.  I'm a quilter who likes straight lines and simple intersections. So I printed the template directions from the Dear Jane software and cut my fabric and sat down to sew.

The picture above shows the first set in corner I have ever attempted.  Let me tell you, believe it or not it was a piece of cake.

So I continued with the other four corners and they came together just as easy.

I'm not sure what the right method or order of stitching is for this block. So I came up with my own plan as I went along.

Almost there now, just two more pieces to sew in.  Would you believe it only took me about 30 minutes to put this block together?  I think it's my favorite one I've attempted so far.  But that could be because it's provided the least frustration.  Or it could be that it is the most recent one I've completed. I think that's what happens.  Whichever one you just did is your favorite Baby Jane.

I hope you're still loving your Baby Jane.



I'm glad to join this Dear Jane blog. I started about two months ago buy buying the book.
I now have finished two blocks.
Every month I visit a Dear Jane Bee at quiltshop Leur.
 I've been there two times now and I love it.
Here are the blocks I finished so far.

Hope to see you soon.
