Today I was lucky enough to receive three gifts. The first was a new laptop, a lovely MacBook Pro (to replace my old PowerBook). Then a Nikon D70 (as my boyfriend treated himself to a newer model). Finally a wonderful swap package arrived containing a handmade Easter ornament and some lovely pieces of fabric.
I spent the evening making another block for my Dear Baby Jane quilt, this time C-9. I found this block hard as it involved cutting out the tears and sewing them in place onto a second fabric. I’m also not too keen on the fabric I used. I hope that by participating in this project my sewing skills will improve, as will my skills choosing fabrics!
Your instincts are right. Small prints or solids will work best for the Dear Jane quilt blocks because they’re so small. In this one it’s hard to see the little tears.
