This week I had my nose to the grindstone, and managed to get all 15 of the remaining 169 blocks of the Jane Stickle quilt finished. Here is a current picture of the design wall, with the 15 blocks circled:
Next, they will all come down from the design wall, and the outside borders of triangles will go up there. I am excited to see the triangles on the design wall. There are 52 regular triangles plus the four bigger corner triangles in the quilt, and I have 19 completed, and 33 to go.
Most of them will be paper pieced. I am learning to tolerate paper piecing. What I like most about the method is the results. The actual process makes me think upside down and backward, and I’m not good at that.
My handyman friend has replaced my friend’s mailbox post, and they have a brand new mailbox……(last week, I backed my car into it)…………the hornets have been removed from our own mailbox, and letter delivery service has been resumed at both homes. Peaceful life has been restored. God is good.
What are you starting, or finishing this week? Join our Design Wall Monday Linky Party below and show us. Thank you so much for your faithful participation.
You are really going with Dear Jane! I foundation paper pieced most of my Jane. Paper piecing can be confusing but once you catch you, it a wonderful technique for accuracy. Looking forward to seeing your completed quilt in November, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteYou've been moving along so well with all those blocks. I don't mind paper piecing, though I haven't done any complex blocks in a long while. Happy stitching this week.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your DJ progress!
ReplyDeleteGreat job. You finished the small blocks. It's nice to see them all finished on your wall. I didn't realize you had most of the triangles to do. Ramp those into production and let's see some finishes next week. Yea for getting your hornets gone. So far we've found no bee nests. (Of any variety of bees/hornets/whatever. Thank goodness. Have a quilty week.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting those last 15 blocks done!
