And so it begins
Shortly before Christmas, I let it be known that I wanted the Dear Jane book. My fairy godmother (ok, my Mom) heard and bought me the book and the software. The plan being to size the squares for a king bedcover.
Without further ado - the beginning:
G-7 - Indianapolis
After a false start trying to hand piece, I gave up and moved back to the sewing machine. I'm pretty proud of very nearly getting the pattern lined up.
F-7 - Star Struck
A nice break after the curves of the above square.
G-8 Justin's Comet
Good practice in joining - eight diamonds, four squares, and four triangles. Oy. The points are a bit off but finished is better than perfect.
H-7 - Bennington Star
See my plan? One hard one, on easy one. It doesn't look nearly so wonky in person.
G-6 Papa's Star
If I have any gumption at the end of this project, I will remake this block. Wonky, no matter how you look at it.

Congratulations on starting a Dear Jane quilt! I admire anyone who is motivated enough to make one. I would attempt to make one but I will be working on my hexagon quilt until I am a grandmother!
You are off to a good start!
Good Luck and Happy New Year!
