I decided to take a break from Dear Jane blocks today and start sashing and sewing some of my Dutch Treat blocks together since I have more than half of them made. I don't have a design wall currently to get a straight on shot so I have to make do with the living room floor. The top five rows are sewn together and then the bottom two rows are together. I have a few more blocks done, but not enough for another whole row yet.
I'm thinking I may quilt this in sections ...thirds probably and then add the borders last. These are 4 inch finished blocks with 1/2" sashing and cornerstones. 89 more to make and then the appliqued border.
That would be my oxygen tubing snaking around behind the blocks.

I did one more block this evening. This one is called Spring Growth.

That is absoutely amazing...the amount of work you have put into it besides it is wonderful. I truly do love it. Is there a pattern? All I can say is wow, and thanks for posting it.
Wow, this quilt will be absolutely gorgeous ! You have so much talent and so much patience to do all the appliques.
Very nice Mary. I have enjoyed seeing the blocks as they were done, and even more as the finished rows! Great job.
You sure have gotten a lot done on that. It is looking really beautiful, I do not have a design wall either and have to make due with the floor unless I am at a quilt meeting and have help holding quilts up to get photo's.

Oh my goodness Mary...your quilt is going to be beautiful! Keep up the good work!
Incredible. Is this reverse applique? Your work is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Until I saw the pictures on your post I didn't realize what the blocks you were making were a part of, now I know, and it's so beautiful. Very!
Your quilt is beautiful and I love the blue and white combo.
Mary this is stunningly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
