Do you ever have it unravel at the edges when you subcut the blocks? Or do you make sure to backstitch at the corners?

Hi Veronica I was wondering what your opinion is on the Dear Jane Rulers? I was thinking of purchasing them. I have the Dear Jane book as well as the Dear Jane Add On for EQ8. Thank you.
@sewitseamscreations
@sewitseamscreations Ай бұрын
The triangle ruler, I feel, is needed to get the right placement of the triangles to trim. You could get away without using the 5" square ruler, but it is nice that this ruler has the 1/4" seam allowance all around it. It makes trimming easier. If you're able to find the rules at a good price, I'd say it's worth it. Especially since there are 225 blocks and triangles in this thing!

Your technique is brilliant, and now I want to get my project out again and use your method. Thank you so much for sharing and helping me along. By the way, I am 74 years old and have been quilting and sewing since I was a little girl. Goes to show there is always something new to learn!

Hi, Veronica! Wow! You have a lot of projects on the burner! The play sounds so exciting. Theater is really demanding, but such a joy. I can't wait to see your crocheted afghan. I've dabbled in that technique and made a great bag. In my dreams, I'd like to make an Aztec rug in colorwork crochet. Usually, I like crocheting intricate laces or doileys from antique patterns, but yarn is also satisfying to work with, especially in the fall. And you're a knitter too! If I don't find you at the local fabric store, I'll find you at the LYS! :0) I have been so busy making Mrs. Stickle's blocks. Last time we talked, I had made 30, but I'm up to 58 now! It's never boring, is it? Thanks for letting us in on your busy schedule, and when you're all tuckered out, remember we're all behind you, cheering you on! ❤❤

Firstly, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so excited for you getting started in quilted! Enjoy the process as you learn and don't be hard on yourself at all as you work to acquire this new skill. Secondly, for this block you could most certainly applique your block. I'm a firm believer that in any quilting, and especially something like these Jane blocks, make it the way YOU want to make it. There are no quilt police. And if someone tries to tell you that you MUST do something a certain way, smile and then do it your own way. ;) You can e-mail me any time and I'm happy to help as I can. Happy quilting!

Hi, Veronica. I came back to this video hoping to get some hints on the appliqued triangles. I'm piecing BMP's C-2, which is very similar but made with diamonds instead of triangles. I can easily applique circular or rounded fabrics down, but I want to do a good job first time appliqueing those sharp points. Maybe someday you can show us how to turn those sharp points? In the meantime, I'll do some more research and see what I can come up with. This block you made is so precise. Your applique is amazing. ❤❤❤

Hi, Veronica. I really like this block and the fabric you chose really enhances it.

I would like to make a Dear Jane quilt that is 95X95 rather than the smaller sizes as in the book. Question can I just add to columns and rows of blocks to do that?
@sewitseamscreations
@sewitseamscreations 4 ай бұрын
If I'm understanding your question correctly you want to add extra blocks to the rows and columns. So instead of having 13 rows and columns, you would have 14 or 15, right? Really, I view these quilts made from the Dear Jane book as our own interpretation of what we want our quilt to be. In the book are many examples of people using far few blocks than the number Jane made. I see no problem with you adding an extra row or column of blocks. You could repeat blocks that you enjoyed making or make up your own. Also, if you didn't want to make more blocks you could widen the sashings just a bit to get the overall quilt to be larger. Just a couple ideas for you. :) Good luck!

Thank you, Victoria! The line drawings in the book are the right size; you just need to make sure you add the 1/4" seam allowance on there outer edge. I haven't looked into Susan R. Gatewood's PP patterns so I'm not sure if those needed to be adjusted. The blocks should all finish out to 5" and will be 4 1/2" when seen into the quilt. Hope that helps and have fun making the quilt! Would love to see photos of what you make.

@sewitseamscreations
@sewitseamscreations 5 ай бұрын
I would actually use a medium to light gray. I use that for a lot of piecing because it's a great neutral that seems to blend in well with a lot of colors. If I have a dark and a light fabric I tend to use thread that is closer to the lighter fabric.
