She had brought her wonderful Dear Jane Quilt,
and her georgious Nearly Insane quilt.
She told us that we did not have to make the whole quilt, but just make as many blocks as we wanted to, and put it together in a smaller quilt. Like this one.
All ladies very concentrated on making these small blocks after Hannes very good instructions.
DJ has a lot of small pieces that has to be put together.
I decided to use fabrics from my repro stash. I got these fabrics from a lady in USA some time ago. It is leftovers from a DJ group.
And mix it with my japanese taupe stash.
One of the ladies drawing the lines for perhaps one of the most tricy blocks G6 Papa's Star.
And here is me working on my G6 Papa's star. Sooooooooo tiny peaces.
But I manage to get it done :)
And during this weekend I made 6 blocks.Wonder how many I will make this time? It was fun looking in my DJ book again. About 10-11 years ago I started making DJ blocks. And I think I had made about 50-60 blocks + some triangles. I got so bored with the colours I had chosen so I gave the all away to Nadine.
Think it will be a small quilt this time. But who knows. Some of us girls have agreed to meet once a month, so we can inspire eachother to continue sewing on these small blocks. It was so fun sewing on these blocks again.

Saying for today:
Our lives are like quilts -
bits and pieces,
joy and sorrow,
stitched with love.
