So, here is the update of our Dear Jane Quilts. We have worked on them for two years now. We have actually made progress! We looked through the book today and decided that some of the blocks that seemed so difficult to us a year ago actually look like they would be a snap! Of course, until we make them, we won't know for sure! We are both going to take an applique class later this month to help us perfect our technique. Neither of us is too confident when it comes to applique, and this quilt has a lot of it in it! On another note, one of my blocks disappears! I am going to re-do the little pink block down in the bottom right corner of this picture. There is entirely too little contrast to be able to even see it! The camera never lies! Last year after we took pictures, Elaine decided she did not like her blue triangles and has re-done them in a beautiful red fabric. We both like it much better. Making my one block over will be lots simpler than her making three triangles over!
I love our quilts! They are completely different! We are going to focus the next few weeks on making triangles. We would like to be able to say that we are one-third done and need to have at least seven more completed to say that! We may be slow at getting this done, but at least we are doing it! We felt very proud of ourselves when we were through taking pictures and took ourselves to lunch to celebrate! Maybe next year this time we can say we are half way done!
