One Down

Okay.  I completed one acceptable Dear Jane block tonight.  168 more to go.  
That's about it.  Work and then my workout took all the available physical and mental energy today.
Except that I browsed the used bookstore at lunch, looking for examples of chiaroscuro.   I know what it is an how Rembrant used it.   How I'm going to use it in an art quilt is a different story.

24 hours til we get our first challenge.  Seems like I've been waiting forever.


 















I hope it's exact enough.  It looks a bit crooked on the grid.

  3. Sharon- thank you for your positive comments on my blog! I appreciate the feedback! I look forward to taking this journey with you! I found a book at the library quite accidently about the quilted postcards. I just love them - though I do intend to give most of them in person! I am excited to start my FFFC quilt tomorrow! I need to pick up a few supplies tomorrow. I am trying very hard to buy as few supplies as possible!! I took the pictures I need though! I am excited about my concept but I look at the samples from the challenge and they were pretty amazing. Have Fun Sewing....
