The Dwindling Supply
This is my next-to-last batch of sashing … well, if you don’t count the skinny sashing strips or attaching all the completed sections to each other. And it’s good that […]
Fabric
The Backing Candidates
I’m getting towards the end of the piecing phase of this project. There are less than 10 blocks left to stitch, and I’ve made great strides on the sashing too. […]
The Photographic Evidence
This was another one of those blocks where I felt uninspired by the fabric I’d chosen, and wanted to find something new to use instead. And this was the color […]
The Pauletta Stone
When I first got this “kit” for the Dear Jane quilt, it came with a piece of the background fabric that had a 13×13 grid of 1″ squares basted to […]

When I sat down to start on this triangle block, I saw I had written down a note for this block that said simply “interlocking circles fabric from Becca?”. I […]
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. […]
