Working on row B of the Dear Jane quilt. Today I got B6 and B7 done. I doubt that I could have completed B7 with its curves and inset circle back in 1996. But, luckily I have the skills to do that now. But, this little block was still very difficult for me.
I took B7 into the house with me to finish the appliqued little diamonds in the corners.
I thought I would foundation piece B6, but that wasn't going to work, so then I thought I'd make the center square and foundation piece the rest, but that wasn't how I did it afterall.

Then it was on to B7:

| Sewing the little 'melons' on the center circle piece. Can't have enough pins. |
Once I got the center circle completed, I inset it into the outer square using the 6-Minute Inset Circle technique. I think the original was probably made with four individually pieced sides and mitered corners, but I thought this new way would be better, and faster.
