These blocks are Annie's...mine is a pretty hard one and I am procrastinating on making it. How is that for the gospel truth, LOL!!!! IN all fairness to myself, I have been running around like a crazy woman today. Annie has finished an entire row! wow!!!! Here are Annie's words about her progress. I love that she uses mixed techniques, as I do the same thing.
Hi Julie – My DJ has hit a new high – and it has nothing to do with stock market averages. I finished my first row (I’m making them in reverse order – Row M)! Here are my final three blocks for that row. As I mentioned previously, the M-3 Block (the circular blue and white one) was a real challenge. I confess that I had to combine machine piecing with a whole lot of hand applique to finish it. It’s certainly far from perfect, but it’s as close as I will get. Makes you understand all the quilters who have/are making their blocks completely by hand; it really does let you be more accurate and at this size block, is probably equally fast. I’m sure more of mine will be done by hand in the future. Annie
I will get mine done sometime this week!!
Hope each of you has a great day!
Julie

Annie's blocks are awesome! I wish we live closer to each other. I would cross over to your place and give you a hand with your DJ if I could. After 365 Challenge, not much scares me anymore. Well, okay! Y-seams still do, lol. ;^)
The blue and white sort of star block looks like it was a more difficult one to make. And done well. Thank you for sharing Annie's blocks. I never tire of seeing Dear Jane blocks and quilts.
You would have loved the quilt show I went to last weekend. One quilter has made 6 different Dear Jane quilts and they showed 5 of them. Everything from brights, African, Oriental, one was purples. Sorry, I didn't take any photos. Oh yea, they were all set differently (some on point in the middle, etc). Stunning!
