Three more Jane blocks completed today!

I haven't been pushing on this as fast as I had the Orca Bay quilt - lots of thought goes into what scraps to use from my stash, shouldn't be that difficult, but I want this to somewhat resemble Jane's work of art.

None of the blocks are cut to size yet - I've read to wait till you're ready to put them together - also, with the paper pieced blocks, I've left them on the paper.

A few more Jane Blocks

I scanned in these blocks this afternoon rather than taking a photo of them, wanted to see if the quality would be better than a photo - seems to me the colors could be brighter - live and learn, just as I'm learning with each of these blocks that I wonder if I'll really complete a Jane myself!

 So far the blocks really aren't too difficult - I've been PP'ing, but as I look at some of the upcoming blocks, OMG!

I'll keep plugging away, if I just can't get it done, please - FORGIVE ME   :)

Orca Bay Top COMPLETE!!!!

I worked on the boarders off and on all day today, so glad I didn't have to go to work and could make this milestone!

On with the next project *** DEAR JANE ***

Quite a few years ago I picked up the Dear Jane software, book and rulers. At the time I made a few blocks and put everything away. I'm sure you all can identify with that.... Now it's time to pull everything off the shelf and actually complete a Jane for my self - the Quilting Board has a group going for support, and I'll try to follow along with everyone else, and hopefully learn some tricks along the way - these are the blocks I made back in the beginning.

 At this time I'm thinkng I'll be using pinks and burgandy, rose colors. Hard to say if  I'll be sticking with that as I continue with this new / old project.

Getting Closer

I've finally gotten all the center blocks sewn together - they're beautiful if I do say so myself - - - I used Bonnies color pallet, using more light sea blues than to the navy colors. On with the borders in the next few days!
As I looked at the quilt on the diagonal before I sewed it together, it was easier to spot my placement errors.

Looking for the final clue!

How wonderful to have the day off of work. I hoped to sleep in, and get up to work on my Orca with the final clue being given today - NO WAY could I sleep in knowing we would get that clue. now here I am, got up at 6:00 and waiting for the clue! Bonnie has gotten me hooked, wonder when the next mystery quilt will be out???
