Playing With Bright Jane

 

 I pulled out all the Bright Jane project boxes. There were 4. On the very top is one with bits of pre-cut background fabrics in it. There is also one with DJ2 applique stuff but I will have to look for that.

I started this Sept 2014 just after I completed my first Dear Jane Quilt. I was going to do it in a year. Eventually, I started working in the colour of the month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I printed off foundation patterns and chose fabrics and put them all in nicely organized zip-lock bags and then file folders. And there they have sat for a very long time. I bought new solid coloured bedsheets recently and they need a colourful quilt to lay on top. 

 

Then did a count of the completed blocks by putting them up on the small design wall one colour at a time.

I still need 4 blues. Working on that.

Feb is pink month. I have 8 more blocks that have been prepped for Foundation Piecing for several years. 

Red has 10 complete and 2 in process. That amazing circle of geese was foundation pieced using a stay in fusible but is very stiff to work with that way. I have an idea how to finish it. Come back on red month.

For some reason, I thought I had all 20 green blocks done. I see one missing. I will  not fret about that until next green month.

 And purple. For some reason purple kept getting missed. There will be 25 of these beauties eventually. I long since had stopped making the Dear Jane blocks as I had already made the entire thing in reproduction fabrics. Finished that more than 8 years ago and it is still not quilted. One of these days. But it is on the 23 ufos list. 

I have been making a variety of patterns that can be made using just one colour. 

Is it pronounced 

or (an) ge

or 

or (on) ge? 

Guess it depends if  you live in Ontario or Quebec. 

Either way, I still have 6 blocks to make. No. 7 blocks. That top left one belongs in the yellow collection. 

Still need to make 7 more yellow blocks. 

I am using a variety of bright fabrics I bought just for this quilt. I am not so fond of the bright colours. That is one reason this project has languished so long in project boxes.

And there is aqua. What can I say? These are all done. I like them. This is my project for the RSC this year. I only have 59 blocks to go. I think. If my math is correct. 

My To-Do Tuesday quilting list includes: 

1.  Sew something.
2.  for at least 15 Minutes a Day.
3.  Don't touch Lucy this week. 

My Other To-Do Tuesday list includes:

1. Hot tub.
2. Laundry.
3. Clear those 2 eight foot tables - again.
4. Move the glass top table. I cannot reach the small design wall that sits on it and I want to play.
5. Put a lot of stuff away.
6. Write at least 3 times this week. I got a new book to guide my writing. 
7.  Massage Wed.
8. Prep for Women's Small Group Sat.

My February OMG goal is to complete something.
