Today I made M11 Dear Jane block and that finished up all the small square blocks for me. I did not do them in order, but rather in what I thought was Easy - Medium - Complex. I started this around Mid-October and finished the squares this morning. The blocks are sewn into rows, but I have not sewn the rows to each other yet.
I have 4,382 pieces so far. Not using sashing but putting borders around the blocks and then squaring to
5 1/2" , which is what I believe Jane Stickle did.
Now - on to Triagles for the borders!
I have also started a Block of the Month my Guild (York County Quilters Guild) is hosting called Lasting Legacy. Doing mine scrappy style from by Batik stash and also some bright "near" solids I have been saving in my stash. Each month we make the same block twice. Here is Block 1. I have challenged myself to not foundation paper piece these block like I usually would, but work on my machine piecing skill in making 1/4" seams. I am not the best at being precise, but these came out ok.
