The Jane Stickle Quilt – Block J5

Block J5 is foundation pieced. My rendition differs slightly from the drawing in the Dear Jane book. In the book, the cones are curved at the bottom. But studying Jane’s rendition, I see the bottom of each cone as more of a wedge than a curve.  So that’s how I did it. Lots of inset seams make this block a bit time consuming, but the result is worth it.

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.
