Dear Jane's G-5

G-5

Number 160, a combination block, was made with just a charm of focus fabric from an online swap.

Happy Quilting,

Just 10 More to GO!!

I-13

Hard to believe, but there are just ten more main blocks to go. This block is the 159th, 49 pieces go into its construction. Total pieces so far: 3380.

I-13 has 2 versions. If you are using the book only, pay close attention to the picture of the original. The 4 focus fabric squares are considerably smaller in Jane's quilt compared to the drafted block illustration. I chose to go with Brenda's version, since I felt that hers would highlight my chosen fabric.

Happy Piecing!

Applique Today

G-3

There's nothing like a laid back day of applique. This fabric was one of the first ones I purchased as a new quilter. I was unaware that it was a 30s reproduction at the time and just had to have it! The box was marked 'fat eighths'.

I had yet to master the terminology of quilting and was clueless as to what that meant but bought it anyway. That wonderful box full of possibilities had a lovely mixture of cheerful colors that reminded me of my great grandmother. As a blossoming scrap quilter, I had taken my very first step into what would become the driving force behind THE quilt (and admittedly, a bit of fabricholism).

Happy Quilting,
Heather

#157 Complete

I-6

I don't know how you feel about boats and tulips but I adore both, so you know I couldn't pass this windmill fabric up when I saw it. Perfect for the fussy cut pieced center, it was a pleasure to work with. May you thoroughly enjoy the process of whatever you are crafting this week.

Best Wishes,

Heather
