This House Party, part of Show and Tell last night at Repro Divas, uses the 6" version of the SSS blocks, with several additional blocks. Notice how N. reversed the houses on each row. Gorgeous, gorgeous quilt:
It seemed to be non-productive all this time to think about the actual finish of the Dear Jane quilt when there were hundreds of beeny demented blocks and triangles to make. This past week, I counted up for the first time how many were left to do (53), and thought, well, I might actually get this thing done within my lifetime. In guarded anticipation, I made these last three blocks to complete the G row. That is seven rows completed:
I love this one. A very few of Jane's blocks seem too blocky/chunky to me. This was one, so I subdivided the solid corner blocks and the solid center shape:
Next post, Show and Tell photos (scads of them) from Repro Divas.

Gorgeous quilts...I love those who show and share!!
Excellent job on those stickle blocks! You've really chosen fabrics that compliment the blocks well. It will be quite beautiful when they're all together!
What fun quilts!!
Love the DJ blocks you've done and the bee fabric is so unique! 53 to go!? Woo-Hoo!!
The Dear Jane blocks are lovely and the barn sampler is really, really wonderful. What a gorgeous quilt!
Love the quilts from your pattern.
Your fabric choices for the DJ blocks are great. I'd love to see them all together. Have you put them on your design wall yet?
Oh - Karen - I love the DJ blocks, esp. the fussy cut rose color and the bees - how fun!
The house quilts are great. OK - once I am retired I am going to make one. I have your little quilting girl done and hung on my wall. I will take a picture of her and post it later this week.
It must be so rewarding to see your patterns made and enjoyed by so many of us!
Oh my! I love that pattern! And your DJ blocks are beautiful and perfect.

Beautiful quilts, and I just love your Dear Jane blocks. I just found your blog a little while ago, and am so in awe of your piecing and the fabrics that you're using.
I love what you did with that last block! I believe you brain is Stickled. LOL! Seriously, you are over the top talented and you WILL finish this quilt! Also it is fun to see what the SSS ladies did with their blocks and your pattern!
Your Stickle blocks look amazing!!! I just love how you use multiple prints in them to such amazing effect. And your fussy cutting is just awesome. Fabulous!
Those House Party quilts are so fun. What a cool design!
I like the grey fabric with the bugs on it.
Oh your blocks are so wonderful! and 7 rows done! I hope someday I get that far!
The fabrics in the last block are just wonderful...they really look 19th century!
I cannot imagine how wonderful it must feel to see your patterns all made up. I just love them!
Fabulous house quilts. Hmm I may have to go back and make 6" SSS blocks. DJ blocks are gorgeous and love the fabric choices as always. Have a great weekend!
