Weekend Progress
I am working away on Row D of the Dear Jane, nearly done sashing the blocks, then to assemble the row tomorrow and attach to the growing quilt at some point...This is the backing to that flannel quilt I'm making...I don't have much of a flannel stash, and asked fellow Stashbusters for some trades or donations of some 12.5 inch squares, as always, everyone was great, and I had fun trading linen hankies and various other things for my squares! Some wonderful ladies donated quite a lot of fabric scraps, so I have a feeling that at least a baby quilt will have to be done to deplete the flannel stash. I like flannel, but it doesn't call out to me to make tons more...but I may change my find after cuddling under one!!
I'm up at 1am here because my nearly 2 year old woke up crying for a bottle! She was down to one morning bottle but this last week she's asked twice for a bed time or today a midnight bottle... after eating a TON of food today as well...I'm thinking growth spurt!! She drank the bottle dry and fell back asleep, so she must have been hungry. Now if I can only get back to sleep myself... Think I'll sash a few more DJ blocks and then try again!

What a lovely quilt backing. This quilt will be soft and cosy :-)
sorry you were woken in the middle of the night...but hungry babies must be fed :-) hope you got some blocks together and enough sleep later.
Hope you did got back to sleep okay - probably just as you were happily back to sleep the kids were waking up for morning!
I have now completed 7 Dear Jane blocks. I have been having a difficult time finding Reproduction fabric so I am just buying fabric that seems to work for colour and small size patterns. I am buying mostly fat quarters so I am wondering if it would be alright if I repeated fabrics. It seems most of the quilts have different fabrics for each block. Any advice from an expert?
Thanks

P.S Oregon will be a lovely place to visit - and so close to Vancouver.
ahhhh grabbing the few moments whenever they're avaialbe. What a smart woman... Hope your little one soon lets you get back to sleeping through the night, but at least you're making good progress as you're up :-)
Cathi,
DJ is looking great! Keep plugging away at it!
Hugs
Laurie
