I haven't gotten tons of quilting, but I haven't totally neglected Dear Jane. I finished my second triangle, completing the entire first row, triangles and all.
My second triangle: right side, 1st from top. This one was SO much easier than my first triangle!
I then followed my plan and started on column 1. I already had completed A-1, so I started right in on B-1. I love the background fabric. I think I spent more time auditioning the background placement than I did appliqueing the circles.

This easy bit of paper-piecing was a real breeze. Thank heavens Jane threw us a few soft balls like this one.

Alison and I got along just fine too, though it was kind of a bear to iron nice and flat.

I just finished Aunt Exie, though I see I still have some fabric removal to do on the backside. Oh well, I'll get to that later.

I haven't even started F-1 yet. It's a mix of paper piecing and applique. I'm making it in my favorite bright green hand-dyed fabric (that I've used for everything *grins* ). It should really pop!

these look good, I have the book but still not done any as I need help with paper piecing etc and more detailed instructions re cutting etc. Once I get better at quilting maybe I will make some blocks
Susan, these are looking good. I need to get back to mine. It is always good to have a project you can go back to.
