The Dwindling To-Do List
In 2024, I made my annual Dear Jane block goal for the first time in years (possibly ever). I completed 28 blocks in 2024, and completed 7 sashing sections. It […]
Assembly
The Pivot
If my count is correct, I’ve sashed together 17 sets of four blocks so far. On each of those, I’ve made sure that the little square cornerstone pieces on the […]
The Rough Draft
Some of the blocks in this batch of sashing were done so long ago, when I was so unskilled, that I feel like they are rough drafts of the blocks. Block I11 […]

The Gap
You may notice a gap between these two sections of sashed together blocks … there is actually another column of three blocks that is supposed to go between these two […]
The Over-Under Set
I’ve been splitting each set of four sashed blocks across two months. Usually I complete the bottom two in the sashing set first, and then in the following month I […]
