Here is my <em>Dutch Apron</em> block, it looks like it has red chili peppers on it. I am not sure what has come over me, but I have the next two triangles stitched and will have two more completed in the next couple of days. Can I get them posted just as fast, now that is the question?</div>

Difficult? Well really more frustrating, it was very doable, just time consuming. For a better look at the circle detail <em>click</em> on the photo, made from a pinwheel outlined with melons, which gives it a very interesting look. </div>

I was expecting a little trouble when it came time to applique the small triangle and teardrop like piece at the point of <em>Carla's Candle Flame</em>, but it went down pretty smooth.</div>

Posted a little late for Valentine's Day, but still lots of love to go around. A very easy block to piece that comes with the name <em>Michigan Dunes</em>.</div>

I just noticed the triangles (in the book) have not been given names like the center blocks. Interesting? This may be my favourite triangle so far, I think I see a tree.</div>

Is it a slice of raspberry pie or my third border triangle? Almost good enough to eat and did you notice, that makes two border blocks completed this week.<br />

Way too much time has passed between blocks, how easy it is to forget when you stop following routine. One thing I find though is it takes less time to piece a triangle then a center block. So, maybe it is still possible to complete all 52 border triangles before the year ends or did I just get lucky with the first two?<br />

Nervous and excited at the same time, it was like starting a whole new quilt, completed almost two weeks ago, my first border triangle. I must say, it did feel a little funny working in a different shape.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My original plan for 2012 was to continue at one a week and complete all 52
border triangles before the end of the year, but I think it is time for a
change. My weekly Dear Jane block came first over all other quilting projects
for 3.25 years and I feel now I would like to slow it down a bit. Just a bit,
after all, what are a few months more on a 4.25 year plan anyway?<br />

In the Dear Jane book, <em>Indianapolis </em>had been altered from the original pattern, but was an easy fix, so I fixed it. That leaves one center block to go and eight days till the end of the year; I'm thinking I can do it. And, <em>Merry Christmas to all!</em></div>

I wasn't sure how to approach <em>On Target</em>, should I applique or piece the 'V' shaped pieces (dark orange) to the corner appliqued squares? After much hemming and hawing I decided piecing was the way to go.</div>

I made sure <em>Nan's Naiad</em> was an easy block to piece by eliminating the applique and adding and subtracting seams, all within the top and bottom border pieces.</div>

Just a little applique to go and I will be finished <strong>F-11, </strong>then on to <strong>G-7</strong> and <strong>I-13</strong>. I will post them as time allows and hopefully before the end of the year.</div>
