Thank you all for your encouragement, it means the world to me. These blocks are 5" unfinished. First time I've ever done anything this small. I've been threatening to try these for some time - had trouble finding the Dear Jane book initially - bought a Dear Hannah as a second choice - then DIL found one at the Quilt Expo in September. So now, here we are
The light colored fabric will be used throughout the blocks - other than that I have been collecting CW FQ's for some time and now they will get used - even if only in tiny bits.
A few of the fabrics I have set aside are not necessarily CW reproductions but I like them and they blend in well with the others so....the vast majority, including the one you see in this block, are the CW repros. Found a shop in Green Bay with an outstanding selection of CW fabrics - that's where I found both of the fabrics in this first block.
A friend in KY started this project a few years ago and then set it aside - now she's starting all over again with me so we can help each other through the more difficult blocks. We plan on working the blocks in order Al, A2, A3, etc. I think the next one is a candidate for machine piecing as well.
OK - you can really tell this project really excites me. Let's see how long it lasts....
