Dear Jane

Well thanks to my friend Vicki, I have finally started my DJ quilt blocks after months of admiring pieces of fabric!
I have now finished three blocks (and a half which I will be redoing!) all using the freezer paper in front method. I will post a few pics and will now try to add them as I go to try and keep track.

Fwd: Don't be too shocked... I've started!

Well after several weeks of procrastination and avoidance I've finally bitten the bullet and I am starting. Don't look too closely at my first piece, I am kinda happy even though it's far from perfect! It is a lesson I'm learning as I go along and experiment. I am not following an exact plan or layout just a colour pallet in general of tea stained plain and gold / red / brown patterns I'm playing around with. I want to do the whole quilt but will see where I get to!  It's square a4 I'm doing first and don't ask me why that is I just started with that one!!!!  Two hours to do a third of one square!!!!  Full steam ahead now.
