I've been working away at my Dear Jane blocks in the last couple weeks . It's amazing how much you can get accomplished at doctor's offices and other waiting rooms if you have a few blocks prepared! This one is paper pieced:
The next two I hand pieced:
Another paper pieced one using my Dutch fabrics:
Had to put a quick and easy one in there :-):
Hand pieced the next two. Linda Franz of Quilted Diamonds, who first inspired me to try hand piecing, claims that once you try hand piecing a basket handle, you'd never appliqué one again. Well, I must say I enjoyed doing the basket handle by hand! It works very nicely. I do need to trim the seam yet so it doesn't show through the white.
Way to go on your Jane blocks!! I love that Dutch fabric...very nice!! Your hand-piecing is really, really good!! Cheers! Mary Ann
