I will be making "dear jane" while waiting for my son in his speech, occupational, and physical therapy for his sensoray disorder. He gets 3 hrs of therapy a week at once so alot can get done! I started it today piecing it today at his session and I got a few weird looks but... I soo do not care cause while they are on their phones and looking at books and magazines at I will have something to show for my time lol.

You enjoy doing your quilting while you wait, I have done that also when I have gone to hospital with friends, but I got a lot of compliments. I rather do that then aft to listen to phone various rings and people chatting on phones. You need quite work in a hospital. It will be something special to show the little one when it is all over.

I need to get back to mine. I print the designs out and then use the templates to cut the little pieces, one square at a time. I handpieced all that I have done and plan to even hand quilt this quilt. This is my heirloom quilt that I want to finish for my kids to hand down to their kids. But alas, it is on the top shelf in the sewing room waiting for me to finish. I think I have about 120 square done or almost all the squares. I don't plan to do the triangles around the border and I want to sash with black fabric so the squares will stand out. Guess, I'll get it down and work on it some now that I hear someone else had taken the plunge. Keep us posted as to your progress.
Love the fun of making these little squares.
