You win some, you lose some.

This little stuffie started out with such promise.


Then I got a little crazy and tried to give it wings.


The wings look somewhat battish...and one is WAY smaller than the other. I still like it, but I feel a little twinge of sadness whenever I see it. It feels like failure.

On a happier note, I finished my Super Jane Quilt. So happy with it. 39 x 43 Baby-sized.


Sarah, I did the quilting in gray. After your picnic quilt, I really like a gray with brightish pastels. It's just an all-over, loopy pattern.


There was a lot of drama over the binding. I originally thought red (there's just a bit of red in the quilt), but then decided yellow was safer...and it would have been, had there been any un-hideous yellows at Joanns. So, I went out on a limb and got the red.

I don't normally pre-wash any of my quilting fabric. It makes it bunch up and look all vintagey when you wash and dry the finished quilt, but I thought...red fabric...of dubious origins (Jo's)...mixed with my quilt that I love. I would have cried if it bled, so I did prewashed the binding.


Why did I call it Super Jane? The front is from just one Nicey Jane (by Heather Bailey) charm pack ($8.50) and the back is a Moda fabric (I bought on sale for $4) called Sweet Baby Jane. So, it's Janes all around...and it turned out super, if I do say so myself.
