Ok, I have finished my first Dear Jane block!

I made it in a black and white floral print (by Mary Englebreit, "Attitude Girls" below) and Kona "Snow". I thought that would show up mistakes better, and now it strikes me how lovely a black and white Dear Jane would be.... ;-)

I used Judy Mathieson's paper piecing method where you fold the freezer paper back and sew beside the paper fold (that way you do not have to rip the paper off the finished sewing lines after as you do not sew through the paper).

Verdict...pretty darned nice (lousy phone shot below)! I did bury three of the four points just by a hair, likely sewing too close to the paper fold; I will make it again (relaxed this time) and see if that fixes things.

Regards,
Janet
