Block Sets; One Helps with Stash Reduction
Everybody in the Little Quilts' Jo's Little Women night class (there are three sessions now) was simply astounded as we began to look through our packet of swap blocks last night. Each and every one is so gorgeous and delectable. Just look at these. I can't think how I will assemble them. I do like the very dark Jo "little faces" fabric with them. But I just don't know. My photo was taken in haste and does not show how pretty they are; enlarge it, though, that helps.
Having Anina's Dear Jane tutorials to work along with was just too good an opportunity to pass up, so I finally began Dear Jane blocks after thinking about it for years. I am armed with my Dear Jane ruler set and Dear Jane software. These are so much fun to make I can't believe it. This will be such a good stash reduction measure ("tall oaks from little acorns grow"), because I will get every piece from stash.

Beautiful set of blocks from the Jo Morton Club. I belong to our local Club and it's so much fun to make the little quilts that Jo has designed.
I like the idea of block swapping.
Thanks so much for sharing.
