Dear Jane,

I made 4 more blocks from your quilt this week.  I did them for a finished size of 6-inches, so that I could make use of some strips I cut for a previous project and ended up not using.  And, since I was using strips, I decided that I had better pick out blocks that could be made with strips, so I hope you’ll forgive me for jumping around in your patterns.

I ended up using B-13 Four Corner Press, c-1 Trooper Green’s Badge, c-3 Rayelle’s Fence, and J-6 Granny Weaver.  I think the most difficult thing about any of these was that all of the fabric I had was cut into 1.5-inch strips, so any place I needed a larger section of a color, those had to be pieced together as well.  But, hey…. I did make use of some fabric that I might not have used otherwise.

The yellow fabric came from a fat-quarter donated to me by my mother-in-law, Mary-Kay.  I believe it was part of a group of Christmas themed fabric that she purchased as a group, though I’m not entirely sure what that shade of yellow could possibly have to do with Christmas.

The brown floral was just something I had picked up at Jo-Ann’s.  I seem to be using a lot of brown floral patterns.  Strange.  I’ll have to use some bright colors to balance that out.

Oh well, at least the fabrics looked pretty good together.  I can’t think of anything else that I would really want to do with the yellow stripes, besides using them for a scrappy quilt anyway, so I guess that worked out.

So, Jane, do you have any other blocks that would work well for my left over strips?

Love,
Andrea

    Using the two fabrics in these blocks was a very interesting way of making the Dear Jane blocks. I usually see various colors used, but I like the use of only 2.

      Thanks so much. I don’t know how the whole project will eventually turn out, but it was fun to make them this way.
