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."

Row H finished for August

I am trying to complete a row per month and have managed to reach my goal again for August. I did start out hand piecing all my blocks, but decided I would not finish my quilt until the NEXT century!! I have taken to paper piecing and hand appliqué which has made things a LOT quicker and no doubt much more accurate..............

Anyway, here is row H - sorry about the order..

Abbey's Eye done

This is the last one I need to make my mini DJ of about 20 blocks or so.  I'm thinking of calling it Mother and Chicks.  Now I just have to find the other blocks -LOL.

Repeating Fabrics and Woven Sashing

I do repeat fabrics in my Dear Jane quilt but I placed the "repeats" so they are not side-by-side . . . that is, until I discovered this as I joined Row I. Many times, I've fantasized making a DJ quilt entirely from one background fabric and 1-13 other fabrics with great fussy cut options. This might be as close as I get to executing that idea, since I decided to focus on finishing this quilt and do not plan to make a second DJ quilt.

BTW, this may be one of my best photos showing the woven sashing. It's so subtle; I'm hoping that the quilting will bring it out.
