All up to date with Dear Jane blocks. Not a one was what I consider easy , but bottom right was the hardest to get my head around. Once I realised that I could cheat and satin stitch the star I was ok, and I did this one first. Really do not know how Jane Sickle managed it by hand , using scissors and in poor light. My DJ will be " based loosely on the quilt by"
Rosette 10a of the millefiore. Forgot to take a photo before I joined it. This is at the bottom and so I am at the edge of the quilt. 10 b is on the way and is very bright. Can't wait for it to be done and then I can reveal it in all it's scrappy glory!!
Two little octopods ( according to DS2). These are a just in case for a friend who will welcome twin GD any time soon. Mum loved the owl and giraffe but these will only go to her if her babies need them. Huge thanks to Rosalie for sewing the faces.

Awe, your Octopods are so cute! Loving your Millifiore quilt so far. You must have a lot of patience. Your Dear Jane blocks are so lovely in red and white. Clever you using satin stitch. Nothing like a bit of improvisation. I love hand pieceing but I know what you mean.
