More Madness!

Is there any help for me? Am I totally around the bend? Here are 9 more blocks. You may not be able to tell but the birds in air block fabric has dancing children and the old lady who lived in a shoe. Cut up so small, it's hard to tell.

Miniature Madness!

The blocks in the original quilt by Jane Stickle, and as drawn and published by Brenda Papadakis in her book "Dear Jane" finish at 4.5 inches. This is considered small, tiny even. Over Christmas break I got the strange idea of making a few blocks even smaller, so that these 4.5 inch blocks would look large. Say, 3 inches, finished.



And, in a switch from my Civil War reproduction fabrics, maybe use 30's and 40's reproduction fabrics. Or... the blocks are so small, I could use my actual precious pieces of 30's and 40's fabrics and feedsacks.

Oh no! I am truly insane now. I have two other Jane-related quilts in progress! But these blocks are so cute...

A note on the blocks: I am using the Dear Jane software from the Electric Quilt company to size these blocks to 3 inches, finished. Thank you to the designers and publishers of this great product. If you have the $ I recommend this software.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays everyone - no matter how few of you there are out there. I'll try to write more in the new year. All the best for 2009.

DJ triangle; Norway's Fiord TR7

I finished this triangle a while ago and finally have images to share. I decided to paper piece this triangle, but to add the two curved pieces at the bottom by applique. The photos never appear where I think they should but here goes. the image of the papers shows how I split the triangle into different PP parts. The middle image shows the triangle with fabric in place, but with just the last seam to go. Last pic: last seam done and applique pieces on. Current block count: 1800's Christmas Jane 104, 30, 0, 3077; Pretty in Pink Jane 72, 26, 0, 2204 -- or close enough.
I have printed out pieces for a corner kite - here we go!
