Recently I won

a gift certificate from the “Twiddletails Store” Anina has several blogs and is very much into Dear Jane quilts.  The Twiddletail link will take you to her store and to her twiddletails blog.  Her other blog is called “That Quilt“which to a lot of us Dear Jane groupies need no introduction to.  “That Quilt” gives detail how to instructions on how to make all of these tiny blocks and triangles that we are so attached to.  I know a lot of DJ groupies are so thankful for her help.  Thank you Anina for sending me the gift certificate.  Of course I had to spend more than she sent   I downloaded a pattern of hers – which if you download the pattern cost less – and I also ordered the black with white polka dots fabric that will go great for the black borders in this quilt.

Yes it is a simple pattern — I think as soon as I get done with my Christmas Baltimore Album (of which I started the 3rd border for today) I need a break from the more challenging quilts and need to make a simple quilt top with some of these scraps that are gathering up.  Yes it will add to my pile of quilt tops that need to be quilted but there you go – I couldn’t resist.  This sweet pattern is simply titled “So Charming”. It should go fast when I start it.  I still have thoughts of making the “Little Brown Bird” applique quilt but need a little time off to do something simple.

I got a little more done on “Insanity” last night and a little while ago.  I can’t believe I have moved so quickly on this row after having taking so long to quilt the previous row! I have 4 more blocks on this row – yippee!  these are blocks # 8 & 7 in Row G.
