I don't know how many blocks I've done. Anywhere from 50 to 90, I guess. lol Just did the math in my head and I'm still not sure.
I used to only sew by hand but my eyes are leaving the building. Literally, I see better outside at high noon. This one is by machine but my machine applique is vomitous. I have to use contrasting thread in order to see what I'm doing.
I'll give you a pic of my crazy blind girl skills tomorrow.
Janstar, the Farmer's Wife is a lot of fun. Big blocks! Six whole inches and fewer of them. Join the yahoo group run by the book's author. Nice folks. You can look at the pix and decide if it's the Jane's remnants project for you. I like all the paper piecing.
