Resolution Recap so far

Well, working on my Dear Jane is one of my top resolutions for this year.  I love working on the crazy little,(4 inch) tiny pieced, intricate and ridiculously difficult blocks.  With every finish I feel a small victory.  Some are really not that difficult, but overall they are challenging.  Here are a few that I conquered so far this month.





And another goal was to learn FMQ on my domestic machine, following along with Leah Day's  building blocks and FMQ tips and ideas.  I am not giving up on this even though it is difficult for me.  My skills are much more refined on my longarm.  So, here are my blocks for this month, in all their wobbly glory.




And yes I have been quilting, and should have a quilt finished this week.   Thanks for reading, I appreciate your company.
