here and here more tutorials will come but they re sadly on the back burner with so many other things up in the air it s been so long i really need to check in with the other girls under the willow tree to see what they re up too we re all dealing with our little bits of life that take have to take priority over jane posted by peawink at 6 39 am 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels contemporary jane jovita monday may 28 2012 4 easy machine pieced blocks for jane i am sure you think by now that we ve all gone away never to be seen again but it s not true sometimes life just throws out a few challenges and we find it necessary to answer them first we re all here we re all doing ok in our own way but struggling to keep up with things again i ll try to check in with the other girls but hey it just might be me for a while i pulled jane out of the cupboard today she s been staring at me not guiltily just in a you d feel better if you made a block or two kind of way she was right i made 4 and i feel great first i needed a kick start something easy i grabbed my book and it fell open to page 90 and my i went straight to j 2 not bad i could handle that so i grabbed my trusty 6 1 2 ruler and set to measuring dear jane book reference block j 2 page 90 background my solid teal four 1 3 4 squares two 3 1 4 squares cut each in half diagonally so you will have 4 triangles for the corners print two 3 4 x 1 3 4 pieces three 3 4 x 3 1 4 pieces these will be a tad long trim it to length after you ve sewn it to 1 2 of the center section two 3 4 x 3 3 4 it s really a pretty simple block but after sewing the very center section together i checked that it was square before adding the teal frame all the way around then i sewed the four print corners and finally trimmed the finished block to 5 square making sure that i have a 1 4 seam allowance beyond each point back to the book i was ready for another i think this one would have been just as quick if i hadn t started with the wrong size for the center square a deep breath and started again resulted in this beauty that was very pretty before i decided to zap it with a bit of spray starch dear jane book reference block i 8 page 85 background my solid teal two 2 1 2 squares cut each in half diagonally so you will have 4 triangles two 2 5 8 squares cut each in half diagonally so you will have 4 triangles two 1 1 4 x 2 3 4 pieces two 1 1 4 x 3 1 4 pieces print one 1 5 8 square for the center two 2 5 8 squares cut each in half diagonally so you will have 4 triangles two 1 7 8 squares cut each in half diagonally you ll use these in the final border then i went about sewing pressing trimming repeatedly sew two print triangles to opposite sides of the center square press then trim the points of the triangles flush with the square sew the opposite sides press and trim the completed square in a square unit you re aiming for about 2 1 16 square not generally an easy measurement the idea is to trim it like block j 2 above allowing for 1 4 seam allowance beyond the tips on each side then sew the next set of triangles this time solid backgrounds first to opposite sides press and trim then to the opposite sides again press and trim this unit to 2 3 4 finally add another set of triangles using your print and trim this time to about 3 5 8 the most important thing is those tips again don t cut them off concentrate on having a 1 4 seam allowance to add the border i sewed the triangles to the end of the 1 1 4 pieces then trimmed that long even with the long edge of the triangle then added the second piece and trimmed again i d be happy to post a pic if you like just let me know then i trimmed the entire block to 5 it really worked out i was dead pleased you could paper piece this one but this rotary cutting and machine piecing worked out so slick that i am very glad i didn t so ready for block three this one really couldn t get any easier i chose to strip piece in two short lengths cuz that s how long my poison green scrap was a tad over 6 dear jane book reference block m 12 page 119 background my solid teal two 3 4 x 6 1 2 lengths four 2 squares print four 3 4 x 6 1 2 lengths sew one length of background a length of print press toward the background yes even if it is lighter you ll be glad you did this and tomorrow i ll take a pic of the back of my block so you can see how flat it lays sew another length of print to the other side and press again toward the background repeat this so you have two racing stripes trim the end of each strip square line up your ruler against a seam not the edge of the print fabric then cross cut each stripe into three 2 sections yes you ll have one left over as a spare sew together as a 9 patch spin the intersecting seams at the corners yes i know that pic would really help right about now tomorrow finally block 4 this one really wasn t bad either just a pinwheel with a border dear jane book reference block e 3 page 50 background my solid teal two 2 3 8 squares two 1 7 8 squares print two 2 3 8 squares two 1 7 8 squares four 1 3 8 x 3 1 4 for the pinwheel place 2 3 8 squares of background and print right sides together draw a diagonally line on the wrong side of whichever you can see best sew a 1 4 seam from each side of this line cut apart on the line and press to the darker fabric trim these units to 1 7 8 square sew together as a pinwheel spin the intersecting seam to reduce bulk for the corner triangles place 1 7 8 squares of background and print right sides together draw a diagonally line on the wrong side of whichever you can see best sew a 1 4 seam from each side of this line cut apart on the line and press toward the background fabric even if it is lighter this will help to reduce a lot of bulk trim these units to 1 3 8 square sew two of these to the end of a 1 3 8 x 3 1 4 piece twice assemble the block by sewing the remaining 1 3 8 x 3 1 4 pieces to each side of the pinwheel press toward the background and add the other border to the remaining two sides press again toward this border so there you have it hmmm enough info if you re struggling with any of these instructions or need more help please don t hesitate to ask i ll do my best to take additional photos so i m up to 32 blocks how about you any you are struggling with these are the ones i have made so far pretty wild and i am really loving it without sashing keep in mind i am not following jane s setting mine will be set in a rainbow trip around the world did you know that jane s quilt did not have

down to the sewing machine for a while yesterday and made these four contemporary jane blocks am happy with the first three but didn t realize until later how much d 9 and a 8 are alike so i will probably re do a 8 reversing the background and using a completely different color like green happy sewing to you all things are bright and colorful around here kermis is in town although i have to admit it s much more bearable this year it rained the first couple evenings which meant things closed down much early today is the most important day jaarmarkt so i sat on the sidewalk with handwork and drew quite a few onlookers eager to know what i was doing and why oh and by the way how did an american end up in kalken posted by peawink at 9 08 am 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels contemporary jane jane jovita wednesday september 14 2011 wednesday works in progress i ve been sadly neglecting jane too long quite a few blocks are in progress but i have no finished to show hopefully soon please don t give up on me i ve been holding my breath all week kermis comes to kalken this weekend and we re hoping beyond belief that we can avoid a repeat of last year this photo was taken from our bedroom window let s just say we don t sleep much for three days so far there s no sign of the bus stop being blocked and any set up at our end of the road village but there s still tonight last year they parked up their rigs in the middle of the night with a lot of shouting no a little more left left i said left oi vey g night all if all goes well i ll stay indoors and stitch and stitch away and have lots to show when the kermis pulls out of town on wednesday next week xox jovita posted by peawink at 10 14 am 1 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday august 28 2011 hot august not honestly where does time go in the back of my mind i ve had this nagging feeling along with a couple of migraines that i haven t blogged here but then neither has anyone else i promise things have been happening behind the scenes you see i got kind of caught up in a crazy hexagon craze this wasn t really supposed to happen considering i m still busy busy on this and this but you see lynne of lily s quilts started a hex a long inspired by this quilt and then i only allow myself to work at this one a block at a time during the week and even then evenings only but weekends are fair game then there s this one my take along everywhere project i picked up this simple but inexpensive case at ikea yes i know coulda shoulda made it but this way i have more time to stitch fun things makes taking along so simple doctor s office 5 hour round trips to germany the garden for a half hour each evening when axel comes home when i get back the hexies get sorted into my tray to make sure i m keeping my color saturation where i want it am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the fabric i designed and was printed by spoonflower and another order of japanese fabrics ordered from the states also found some more gorgies at a friend s shop nearby and i promise to get busy on jane again i realized today that i never blogged about my fake method for reverse applique so that s on the top of the list for this week maria on the other hand has been busy with jane and you can see more of her gorgeous
