Dear Jane block A6 is called Dad's Plaids except I did not use any plaids to make this block. I am very afraid of directional prints and prints with lines on them. Big no-no for me. This is a complicated block with applique melons and melon shaped reverse applique.
A7 Uncle Homer. This one must be one of the few simple blocks in the quilt. Not many are as nice to put together as this one. I am sure Uncle Homer was a good old mellow fellow and I made the block in yellow!
I have decided to make the triangle blocks along with the center squares. That way I wont cheat myself in the end and make do with just the center squares. The original/Mother Dear Jane is made from 169 squares and 56 triangles(these include 4 corner blocks). And I want to make the whole quilt and not skip the border blocks. My plan is to make one triangle for every 3 squares that I make. So here goes.... Top left triangles 1&2. Ta-Da....
