The Jane Stickle Quilt – Block I12

Life has certainly been getting in the way of my quilting this month, but I think I’m finally back on track. Block I12 is foundation pieced. Traditional piecing was an option I quickly discarded because of the number of those oh so tiny triangles. The foundation piecing was somewhat time consuming because of all those pieces, but not difficult.

Once again, my rendition differs slightly from the block drawing in the Dear Jane book. As I study Block I12, it is clearly smaller in size compared to Block I11 and Block I13. Jane has a wider background border on that block, which was eliminated in the book. I’ve added it back in.

Note: Unit A and Unit B in the pattern are for the sashing. I chose to make 5-inch blocks like the original rather than sash 4½-inch blocks. If you prefer to add your sashing when your blocks are all finished, just eliminate the A and B units from my pattern. The center sections will then be 4½ inches finished in size and you can add your sashing later.
