Hand piecing class

I figured since I enjoy having a portable project on the go that I should do a hand piecing class to learn properly.

It was a matter of bumbling my way through and hoping for the best before.

The class was run by Mary of Drapers of Mount Macedon and my first class was on 13 March - 13 days after my major wrist op and 2 days since I was put in plaster - well past my elbow!!

I managed well enough although I would have been happier if my points matched more often but then again I was effectively doing it one handed so I decided to cut myself some slack.

My delicious Aster Manor FQ bundle was used to make the quilt and it's turning out nicely!

Here is a pic of my block from Mary's blog:

I NEED more fabric!!

OK so I've spent the weekend planning the colours and layout of my DJ.  It means I'll need a few more FQs in certain colours!

I popped into Quilters Bazaar today and picked up my remaining colours.  There will be a DJ class starting late March so it's a bit earlier than I planned.  I need to think more about it!

OK I've succumbed...

I picked up a repro FQ pack today so I guess I'm officially doing a Dear Jane.  I don't yet know when.  I also picked up an Aster Manor FQ bundle for my hand piecing class.  I hoped not to have them both running at the same time but I might not have a choice.

Will post some pics of my lovely purchases soon!
