Dear Jane

The Jane Stickle Quilt – Block J11

Block J11 is a combination of foundation piecing and appliqué. It appears Jane actually curve pieced the outer melon slices. I chose to appliqué instead but duplicated the center and corner seams that appear in her block.

Because I am doing fusible appliqué, I split one of the center melon slices with a slight underlap (versus covering one on top of the other).

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.
