The Time Trials
I don’t know what I was thinking, tackling the assembly of a triangle border row right after wrapping up one of the big sashing segments, which could be attached to […]
Assembly
The Sashing Slog
This started out as a simple task of sashing four blocks together, but then those four could be attached to four other groups of four to form a larger segment […]
The Boring Bit of Sashing
I’ve been working really hard to catch up on my blogging, but I can’t seem to get this article out the door. The problem is, there’s absolutely nothing interesting to […]
The Pink Pearl Hack
While cutting out sashing strips, I was noticing how run-down my cutting mat looked. It had visible gashes from the rotary cutter blade, with little linty bits of (mostly red) […]
The Cranky Quilter

The Tale of Two Appliqués
This batch of sashing includes one of the first appliqué blocks – nope, make that the first appliqué block I did on my Dear Jane quilt, way back in 2016. While […]
The Delicate Dance
This triangle block was stitched together in one afternoon during Spring retreat. The construction is fairly simple, once you work out which pieces to sew together first, so that you […]
The Demise of Joann Fabrics
The blocks in this bit of sashing were all over the place size-wise … but they also all had points going right up to the edge. So, I focused on […]
