And any other craftiness I can come up with!
Took me a couple of days in between other projects, but I got all the July blocks completed. I’m really liking the way the colors are playing together. I can’t wait to start putting all the blocks together! From the looks of it, we don’t do that until December though!
Another DJ update this week! I’ve been trying to work on at least 1 block a day, either applique or pieced. I’ve also FINALLY finished the first row! I do not like how block A-10 came out, but it’s a rather difficult block and I will not redo it! I’m hoping to finish the second row soon, I only have 4 blocks left in row B! (Click on the photos to see them larger).
I finished the June blocks pretty quickly. I cut everything out before vacation, and even got the Irish Chain block completed. All I needed to do today was put the 2 stars together. I can’t wait to start putting the top together, this is going to look so cool when it’s done!
I was also able to quilt and bind the 2009 Quilt Show BOM. However, since I never finished it (only completed month 1) I decided to make it into a table topper. Then I changed my mind and put a sleeve on it so I can hang it in my half bath that has a red, white and blue theme. It was something easy to work on during the flight to Florida. Another finish for the year!!!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted any Dear Jane blocks. I finished 2 while we were on vacation this weekend – I-5 and one of the triangles. L-1 has been done for awhile 🙂 My applique is starting to get better and I’m also getting faster at it. I have a bunch of blocks prepped, since I prepared for vacation, but I didn’t have much time to work on them. Too busy playing with the niece and nephew!
I completed my May blocks fairly early this month, there’s still more than a week left in the month! 🙂 Hard to believe I’ve been keeping up with this, I didn’t really get too far on last years BOM!
I’ve been busy the last few days and managed to complete some more blocks. I really think I’m getting better at the applique, at least I like how they’ve been turning out. I have a few applique blocks prepped that I might work on later. I have 63 blocks completed, plus 2 triangles – making tons of progress!!!
I’ve been working on Dear Jane blocks during basketball games – both my team (Cleveland Cavs) and my husbands team (Miami Heat) are in the playoffs, so we have a lot of games to watch! I’m getting a lot better at the applique I think, I keep prepping them to work on during games. I’ve now completed 59 blocks and 2 triangles and I have at least 4 more in-process. I probably won’t get back to working on them until toward the end of the week, Dr appt this week and a funeral to attend (friends dad died over the weekend).
I finally got to work on Dear Jane blocks again! I’ve completed 6 blocks today and I’m going to get to work on prepping some applique blocks. Since the basketball playoffs have started I have time to sit and work on the applique. I’ve now completed 54 blocks and 2 triangles and I just want to keep moving on them.
Well I got this month’s blocks completed on time. I’m liking the colors and how they work together, I can’t wait to start putting it together into a quilt! This is going to be quite large when it’s complete! Hoping to work on some Dear Jane blocks in the next week or so.
Somehow I’ve managed to get a few Dear Jane blocks done since the last update. I realized when working on one of the triangles that I screwed the first one up – I didn’t check the size when I printed the instructions! So I’ll have to redo that one, but I’ve completed 2 of the applique ones. I’m definitely getting better at applique!
