F-4 Old WindmillI got another of the little blocks done today – this had to have been one of the easiest of all – only 30 minutes it took.   This second Dear Jane quilt is coming together very well.  The first was difficult at times trying to figure out how to construct the blocks – you buy the patterns but no directions come in the book although there are a lot of helpful sites available.  Now that I have one Dear Jane under the belt so to speak this second one is easier because of it.  I am still several weeks away from quilting the first one, but soon I hope.

This little block is F-4 Old Windmill.

Our ice is a thing of the past, the temperatures today got above the freezing the mark and the ice was falling off of the trees in record speed today.  I went out to collect the mail and felt I should have had an umbrella with me!

Very little to write today so I will move right on the questions.

Yesterday’s question was What name is used to describe a patchwork piece with straight sides, 90 degree angles at its four corners and a finished size of 2×6?  The answer was a bar or rectangle.  Someone posted the correct answer and I had several e mail the answers also – however you want to do it is fine with me, or just keep track yourself.

QuestionWhen it’s time to assemble a rag quilt, its patches are postitioned wrong sides together to sew seams? True or False
