First Jane-a-thon results

I finished 10 blocks for my Jane quilt in the Jane-a-thon this weekend. I was hoping for 20 but I do tend to over-estimate my level of productivity. I forgot to account for being exhausted Friday night, aparment cleaning and grocery shopping Saturday, and last night, a date night dinner at Baton Rouge and a movie (Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs) with my sweetie.

I'm still very proud of my progress. Check them out.

And if you'll take a second look at the title of this post, I said 'first' because I do plan to do this again. Very soon! I've completed 50 blocks and still have 175 to go.

ETA: I forgot to metion that even though it was not a contest, upstatelisa won! She made 16 blocks! and some were hand applique!! Must be all that getting up early she does. :)

Let the Jane's begin!

Tonight begins the Dear Jane-a-thon weekend! I'm totally exhausted but I feel like somene shot the starter pistol and I'm off! Or I should say "we're off!" Ms. Fanny Fairbanks, Upstatelisa, and twocheeseplease and I are are all working in our own sewing rooms/areas and trying to make as many Jane blocks as possible this weekend. I would be the happiest girl in town if I can finish 20 blocks. Sounds like a lot but my( insane) goal of finished quilt by end of April 2010, is fast approaching. To date I have finished 40 since January 25th,09. But I have faith that I can do it! We all can do it! (different deadlines of course).

Go team!
