The Ever-Changing Schedule
I finished most of this (my May sashing goal) during the world’s longest quilt guild board meeting in mid-April. I know, I’m not getting around to blogging about it until […]
Assembly
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 […]
The Official Record
For the record, it was probably dumb to combine constructing a 47-piece block with assembling an entire border row as my monthly quilting goal for the shortest month of the year. […]
The Bit-By-Bit Approach

The Self-Care
I finished the third corner block at 9:45 PM on July 31st, and still needed to complete my sashing goal for the month. Knowing I was very short on time, […]
The Triangulation
I stupidly started this triangle border assembly process with BR1 (the first triangle I did, and re-did, and re-did). All I had to do was stitch a solid red triangle […]
The Outer Limits
Finishing my block goals on the next to last day of the month, I had to look to the outer limits of the quilt to find some sashing that I […]
