I am machine paper piecing whenever I can, but on TR7 I had to do reverse applique. I first tried English Paper Piecing on this one, but that just did not work. The reverse applique worked fairly well, although points are not as crisp as I get them with paper piecing. Following are the "kites" I have completed as of today. Kinda of wonky, but done!

Dear Jane Returns
I began my Dear Jane quilt on September 10, 2001, the day before the horrible day September 9/11. I kept a log for a long time of each block when I finished it and what happened on that day. Unfortunately I did not keep doing this for all the blocks. I completed the 4.5" blocks for the quilt center on February 21, 2006 and have not worked on it since then. Now, 13 years and a few months/days later, I have decided to finish the quilt. I completed the first triangle block TR1 on Saturday, May 11, 2019.

Yay for you. One of these days mine will re appear. Lol.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a ton of progress...I have one half done as well.
ReplyDeleteI have always admired those quilts but don't know if I would ever have the patience to pull one off. Great progress!
