A busy week of Jane blocks

I'm doing my best to stay on schedule with my Jane blocks.
July has been a busy month, but luckily I've managed to keep up.
The most challenging block of the week was C7 Megan's Mountain Laurel.
Those little inset triangle rows were made of such teeny pieces!

My favorite block of the week was definately F4 Old Windmill.
I love this cheerful DOUBLE PINK fabric!
Bubblegum pink is what my inner child sees this color as (grin)
And with the finish of these 6 blocks - I've also completed Row C - my 3rd row so far! (hooray)

6 more blocks - and another ROW complete!

There was a lot of Chocolate involved this week!
Most of it was fabric :D
I'm happy to say another row is complete!
Pass the M&M's please....lol

C13 Lakota Sioux - this was my favorite block of the week:
Autumn is my most beloved season, so finding this acorn & oak leaf fabric in pink & brown was really special. I think it fits in perfectly with my Cherry Chocolate color scheme and I have a feeling it will become one of my top 10 favorite blocks.

July Redwork Block

I managed to finish this little block last night.
I've gotten 2 done now and 10 more months to go :D
Although tempting to stitch, I'm only going to sew one per month. I make so many projects "ahead of season" that it will be nice to work on something as the months & seasons are unfolding.

I Finished a Row!

I managed to complete 6 more jane blocks this week.
The best part is that I FINISHED the whole first row.
It feels so good to have that accomplishment! Once the first 3 rows are complete, I will sash all the blocks and then sew the entire section together.


Block B10 is called Judd's Trophy. I have decided to call it Kelly's Block. I used her fabrics to make this block and fussy cut the middle fabric to look like an Angel's Halo. Kelly makes the most beautiful dolls. (lucky me - I own some of her Angels & Annies) This block will always remind me of Kelly, her dolls and her creative & generous spirit.
