I took pictures during the process but I don't have pictures for every step.
After I had trimmed the embroidered squares, I cut QST's and arranged them around each block.
Several years ago, my friend Deanna made me a portable display board. It measures 18" by 18". It was very nice to carry the small blocks on.
After the QST's were attached to the embroidered blocks.
Then I trimmed and squared the blocks up.
Sorry, forgot to take pictures after they were trimmed.
I web sewed the blocks together and again forgot to take a picture.
Here is a close up of just the embroidered blocks.
Miss Jane's Best was designed by Lori Smith. The instructions were clearly written. She even tells you how to press the blocks for sewing ease. Got to love that!
This was a kit I had purchased. The kit included all the fabrics you see including fabric for the binding. It also included the embroidery thread. I didn't use the yellow from the kit, it was a light pastel yellow. I never use pale yellow in my embroidery projects. I used my go to yellow, DMC #742. It's more gold shaded and just added more zing.

I had decided for the summer I'm going to work on small projects. Miss Jane has been the perfect small project.
this is so lovely--you did a super job on putting this one together...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteLovely, sweet and old fashioned, I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, it's amazing! The embroideries you have stitched and also the fabrics you got in the kit are very cute. It is smart to think of small projects in the summer, when one is often on the move and want to bring a handicraft. :-)
ReplyDeleteJust so beautiful, congratulationson such a lovely finish.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet quilt. The whole top is so happy. Love the yellow, it has to pop, then it makes us smile.
ReplyDeleteMorning Gretchen, what a adorable wee quilt, those wee embroidery blocks must be tiny? I enjoyed seeing how you worked on this wee quilt, liked the idea of using a shallow plastic holder, pieces would not slide off that. What is web sewing Gretchen? Looking forward to seeing what you make next? Cheers Glenda.
ReplyDeleteGretchen I just loooove this quilt flimsy! Thanks for sharing the during and completed photos and your synopsis of the pattern! I will definitely be on the look out for one of her quilt kits now :)

This is such a sweet and pretty quilt! I have so much 1930's and Rothermel's fabric I need to make one like this! Great job! Nice to do small.... Hugs
ReplyDeleteWow, what a beautiful finish! I love every aspect of this wonderful project of yours, Gretchen.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet little quilt, I love it!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love the sweet 30s prints. Definitely the perfect summer project. Congrats on your finish.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. Love how you put the colors and prints together.
ReplyDeleteLove it, such a neat little quilt, Gretchen!
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking embroidery! Love the fabric and the layout as well.
ReplyDeleteI just love Miss Janes-I clicked on the link for the pattern. The cost is only $9 for the pattern only. I am guesstimating that the blocks are 6x6 so we are looking at some small embroidered areas. I know what you mean about the yellow which I learn from experience when I followed instructions and am annoyed to this date when I look at the project and see the yellow just washed away. Your Miss Jane is utterly charming.
ReplyDeleteOh it's beautiful......
