After some discussion with my daughter about Hunters Moon she mentioned paper piecing....No not foundation paper piecing ... English paper piecing.   That means a completely hand sewn block....OK its another new skill to learn so I did some more reading and printed the templates chose some fabric and made a start.  This is something I can do in my lunchtime or even in a waiting room at the Doctors :-).  I have to do some unpicking in the begining as I had not really thought about which parts to join first but I am happy with the finished product and have moved on the the next one.

A3 Hunters Moon

This one has been bothering  me I read the instructions that come with the CD plus several other posts on how its done.

Finally I got together with my quilting buddy and we read the instructions together.  It all seemed fairly straight forward so off we went.

The Melon seeds went together quite well and we thought this isn't too bad at all but then it all went bad and we just couldn't figure out how to put the rest together.  In the end we assembled the outside section and reverse appliqued the centre.  The result is not perfect.... but finished! for now we may just revisit this one.  

Dear Jane for me is all about learning different quilting techniques while completing this amazing quilt.  So far I have leant so much by the end this this project I should know it all :-)

A2 One Two Buckle My Shoe

This one I did with Foundation paper piecing which I am quite liking although I was a little tired the night I did this one and pushed to finished before bed so it wasn't quite as good as I think I can do.  But you know the saying Finished is better than Perfect.

 

I have since unpicked the bottom row and reattached I must upload a new pic.
