Dear Jane Quilt - Block L12 Sally's Pride

Dear Jane Quilt - Block L12 Sally's Pride
Those little corner triangles are by no means perfect and the mental effort they consumed were really a step too far.   However, it has been a while since I actually completed this Dear Jane block, L12 Sally's Pride, so much of the pain has been forgotten.
Getting back to the Dear Jane cutting out I have been doing recently, I am starting to get a feel for the fabric requirements you actually need for the Dear Jane quilt.  I save all my scraps in a basket as I cut out and with so many itsy bitsy pieces in this quilt, the scraps have come in useful.  English Paper Piecing seems to be a fairly efficient way of constructing this quilt in terms of fabric requirements.  I bought 'extra' fabric when I started out on this project and it looks like there are going to be many Kim Diehl quilt projects in the future.

Techniques: English Paper Piecing and Applique
Pieces: 27 pieces

  2. Do share! How much fabric do you think you would actually need for the blocks and also the background? Just discovered your blog, can't wait to read back.
