In the spotlight..

Remember this quilt?


A little while ago I was contacted by Elizabeth from Twi-quilters, a blog made by quilters that are dedicated to making quilts related to Twilight.
They had come across my Twilight quilt and asked me if I wanted to be a guest on their blog.
Well, of course I would!!!...take a look at my guest post here.

Broken promises..

Plan was to have row A of the Dear Jane finished the end of february but things don't always go as planned.  In my defense though.. I caught a nasty head cold shortly after my last post.  And with all the sneezing, coughing and watery eyes I couldn't get much done.
So this week I have been catching up and this is what I have done so far:
A-11


 "Pebble's Protest" this block is called.
 Partly foundation pieced and partly traditionally
 pieced. Probably the hardest block in row A.
 Turned out ok in the end.

A-12
This one is called "Framed Fancy" and apart 
from the outside triangles it is foundation pieced. 
Pretty straight forward, although
with all the tiny pieces 
and all the bulk of seams not 
so easy to get right.


B-3

A traditionally pieced block.
Four drunkard path blocks. 
Not so difficult, if you don't mind the 
curves that is!
B-4
It is called "Mirror Image".



Another easy one for row B, 
this one is 
called "Chris's Soccer Field", 
and is foundation pieced.
Love the rose in the center!



Blocks B-1 and B-2 are already semi-finished, think row B will take a little quicker than row A, but I shouldn't really say that because if I do something will come up to ruin my plans.

I've also completed my brown blocks that I've showed in my previous post, it got too dark to take a picture, so I'll show you it next time!

Hugs!
