Last night, while watching tv, I did finish the applique on the midget block I showed last week. I just have to sew the squares together and then the block will be complete.
Some of these Dear Jane and midget blocks have many small pieces and are time consuming to make. I am sewing my Dear Jane blocks by hand and I am sewing my midget blocks using a combination of hand and machine sewing and I am enjoying the process immensely. It is not a race by any means but my ultimate goal is to have quilts made from these blocks and I have to work on them to have that happen. So, here is the plan...I really want to make at least one Dear Jane and one midget block each week. It would be wonderful if I can make that happen!
I am linking up with Slow Sunday Stitching at Kathy's Quilts. Pop on over and have a look around and see what has been stitched up over the past week.

One block a week is a great goal. As long as you keep working you will get there eventually. Glad you are enjoying the handwork, I seem to always have the applique blocks done before the ones that need to be paper pieced. Still, as long as blocks keep getting made a quilt will come out some day,
That is a great goal to enjoy this year. It looks like a jigsaw puzzle with all those tiny bits! Thanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching!
Good goals to have. My only one is really the midget each week. Lots of prep work but little bits here and there really do get it done. Someday we will have some beautiful quilts.
