First, I have two Dear Jane blocks to show you. Both of these were easy paper pieced blocks.

My first triangle! I may have to redo it because my iron left some marks on it. I cleaned the iron, but not the block yet. Maybe it will come out.

I love to make string quilts for donation to Children's Hospital. This time I made a rainbow one and I like how it turned out. This is the one that I quilted on the long arm machine on Saturday and now it is bound and ready to go. This time I completed the binding with the sewing machine and it turned out fine. The quilts we make are given to the patients and they get to keep them, so I hope some sick girl will like this one.
Here's a couple close-up pictures of the quilting and the corner folded back over the backing so you can see it. I got the wild backing fabric a couple years ago at a garage sale and I already backed one quilt with it. It is used up now.
We're having beautiful weather here in Texas and my irises are budding!
