Baby Jane update - March

My Dear Jane blocks are multiplying and I'm enjoying this project more than I imagined. Though it's just a dent in the puzzle, I have 11 blocks complete, including a few simple ones I made ahead of the group. It may take an hour or two to finish a block, but it's a small accomplishment in itself and I am proud to hold a finished block in my hands. I have learned so much already, including my new favorite technique: freezer paper applique. As the blocks increase in difficulty, I will definitely earn my stripes!

Here is a link to my Dear Jane blocks in flickr if you want to take a peek at the individual blocks themselves. Since I chose not to buy the cd software, I am using Sharon Mastbrook's Virtual Design Wall (pictured above), which gives me a sense of how my somewhat randomly placed shades of purple will look together in the completed quilt.

Isn't it great to see them all in their little spots on the quilt? Yours look lovely.

Really nice. I love all the purple.

Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog.
