Been putzing my way through my Baby Jane pile between intense spurts of work on quilt-top assembling. Here are the last two weeks of block production. I just love the little alien and his ship on F-9.

And I'm all excited, because now my progress chart dips into the lower half!!!
Had a very productive day today and have finished all the blocks in row D. Now I just have to join them together and add them to the first 3 rows...........finally feel like I am getting somewhere!!!
They sprinkle in, slowly - but surely. I added sashing to the little pile that had accumulated and finished up the A, B, and C rows. Still waiting for more of the spotlight fabrics before I choose the cornerstone fabrics, so it'll be quite a while before I sew any rows to each other. Since those long seams will be far-spaced in time, I really don't mind doing entire rows at once. But if I were assembling the quilt at one shot, I'd much rather do it in growing rectangular chunks!
My Dear Jane progress has languished for months, but now I've done six blocks in two weeks! Sure, they're easy blocks, but that's okay with me. The further I get into it, the more likely I am to keep going.
This week I completed four blocks:
I finally found some time to work on blocks this weekend. Block A-6 will have to be re-done. I got in a hurry cutting other fabric and detatched one corner. D-13 was the first time I have done foundation piecing by hand and found that I really enjoyed it. I plan to use this quilt to work on my handsewing skills.
