Alexandra - my gorgeous granddaughter

Alexandra's first quilt - "Expect a Miracle"

Alexandra's Naming Day - she is sitting on the quilt I made for her before she was born. It's been loved to death already & I'm one very happy Grandi. Yes .. it has a twin .. her little friend Sienna has one too & it's lying on the floor next to hers.

Blocks 6 & 7

Not very happy with B-2 (one on left) .. a little bit wonky however it's finished. Onwards & upwards .. only 218 blocks to go.

Blocks 3-5 completed

D-6 Challenge; G-4 Shutter Bug; D-13 Field of Dreams .... Middle one was hardest block to date. I foundation pieced onto tearaway however had to unpick the middle 13 pieces & hand sew it back as I had short changed myself on a couple of seams & when removing the tearaway the seams came loose. Am learning fast !!!

Blocks 1 & 2 completed .. 223 still to go !!

After having first heard of "Dear Jane" a little while ago & being intrigued by this incredible quilt I recently purchased the book in Melbourne at the Mt Waverley quilt show along with some starter fabrics. I made the commitment to make one block per week (at least). Weeks 1 & 2 saw the completion of A1 & A2. Picked up the pace this week & have completed another 3 blocks & half finished another & having never foundation or paper pieced before this is quite a learning curve (along with creating this BLOG which I've never done before).
