This one gave me some trouble, I did it all by hand and miscalculated a little. It is oval pieces appliqued onto a circle which is then appliqued onto a square. I eyeballed it and they are all a little off-kilter, but I am okay with it.

Here is mine:

The First block of four

Okay, after a huge break... camping for 6 weeks, several craft shows, 3 quilts, and the holidays, I decided to finally sew the blocks into a block of four. It feels like I actually made something now. The 4 blocks together only make about a 12 inch block, but at least they look nice.

My first Dear Jane block!

I received the book and within 24 hours just had to have one done. Very exciting.




Unfortunately I will need to make this one again since I made the background out of a fat quarter and cannot find it on a bolt. After I buy enough of another background, I will start again. What fun!
