Dear Jane - E7
Bread Basket
So this block was a toughie. The middle square took a lot of doing, ripping and swearing but I finally got it done after 2 days.

Dear Jane - Getting Assistance
I'm getting mom to help me with this project. Since I am doing quilt as you go, I don't have the right light (and bad eyes!) to be able finish the binding on the blocks. I've given her 3 rows so far and she had them done in no time.
So now I'm going to go through my patterns and see which blocks are appliqué. Since she can and does enjoy doing them by hand, it will save me from machine appliqué.
I've finished row D, started on row E and have the top row done as well. Here is the quilt so far. It will change once I only concentrate on the paper piecing blocks and mom works on the appliqué.

Dear Jane - C12
Family Reunion
Finally an easy block..... except for the 9-patch being 1 inch pieces. I changed up the middle 9-patch as I didn't want to have to cut 2 pieces just to make them the same.

Dear Jane - B7
World Series
This block was horrible. I got the circular sewing under with no problems. BUT those Y seams - I just can't master them. So I had to improvise on this block.
