I finished 4 last night- 8 a week should be no problem.
I have a little time to figure out how to apply binding to a scalloped edge, and get some fabric for it. I'll have to look at the book, but it seems to me Jane used a medium blue fabric for the binding.
I made a change of plans and it will only be 4 of us for Thanksgiving dinner this week. For that, I am thankful.
I have much to be grateful for- one is the many readers of this blog that I consider friends. Have a lovely week.
PS- My AAQI quilts never made it to Houston, but they are for sale now. Click on either quilt (upper right on my blog) and it will bring you to the AAQI website for the particulars. Thanks for considering a purchase of my little quilts to help find a cure for this horrible disease.

Hope the mosaic helps you decide your final layout!
Your DJ quilt is looking fab! You must finish this Lori it is wonderful!
I can't believe you got 4 DJ triangles done in one day! Both the DJ quilt and your Beyond quilt blocks look so, so good.
It's wonderful!
It is so inspiring to see all your Cherry Tree blocks together. I see from a comment that you used a mosaic layout. Neat. It is different than looking at them individually.
Oh my goodness, your quilt is awesome!! I have to be good I cannot start something else, well where do you get the pattern for this quilt?? What a great accomplishment to finish your Dear Jane! Its just beautiful....
Wow Lori! Your quilts look fantastic!
It is really coming together! What an heirloom you are creating Lori. Thank you, dear friend, for always giving us something wonderful to look at! Have a wonderful Turkey Day and, p.s. I am thankful for you! xo Pam

you've been a busy busy lady....beyond beautiful accomplishments....
Wow, Lori, both of these quilts are major accomplishment! I would be proud to have done one--can't believe you have these both in the works. Amazing!
Your BTCT quilt looks amazing. I am thrilled for you. It is very encouraging to the rest of us...and the DJ is so lovely. What a workload.
Both are really wonderful !XO
That's a great idea in laying out your blocks - might have to try that myself. Your Dear Jane is beautiful and you must be so excited to have it almost completed. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
Wow, both quilts are wonderful.
I hope your family understands what an achievement it is to complete a DJ. My son would just think it's just some old thing I have run up in two minutes !
Loved seeing your DJ, it looks wonderful, such a labour of love, this quilt!!!!!
You must be so excited to have two fantastic quilts so close to completion.
The DJ is just amazing. I would never get it done. LOL
I LOVE the applique. You do such a wonderful job with your applique. sigh....wish I would have started that one way back when you gave me the link. Must stay strong....still working on the applique pattern I won in your give away. Some how I fell behind. ;)
Happy Thanksgiving
Love the appliqué blocks all together. Hooray for modern techniques ;-).
Love the hand quilting part, you are really almost there if you can count till the end!
Your Cherry Tree blocks are amazing and so is DJ. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving week!
What gorgeous blocks you have made...love each one!! I can't wait until I am at the quilting stage of my Dear Jane...yours is truly beautiful. Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Holy cow! What a great post - both of these are huge accomplishments and both are beautiful! I was just on the AAQI website yesterday - I want to get involved in it.
Oh my - just stunning! Your work is wonderful.
Lori, they are both wonderful! You have some momentum on the Dear Jane, good luck! Happy Stitching and Happy Thanksgiving!
your DJ looks awesome! and your cherry blocks too!
enjoy your small dinner group, we are down to 3 this year, good food without all the drama and fuss I say xx
They look fabulous!
5 weeks is not so long! What a sense of accomplishment you will have :0) Your quilting looks wonderful. I love your Cherry tree blocks - how fun to see them all together like that. I don't think I realized there was so many of them. The vine border will be perfect for them.
As always, your projects are just beautiful. I love that you cypher out how much hand quilting you can get done if . . . . I do that all the time *s* I just hope you do a much better job than I staying on schedule *lol*
The moasic idea is great! And it looks beautiful!
Is that a mosaic picture of the Cherry Tree blocks? Great idea!!!! They're really nice. You're going to have a wonderful quilt when it's finished.
Beautiful blocks! How exciting to see them all together like that. And fantastic to see your DJ--what a journey you've had on that and what a treasure it will be. Happy Thanksgiving! We'll be feeding 21 at my house...
Your applique blocks are GORGEOUS! What a great way to see them altogether. And your DJ quilt is coming right along... beautiful!
Wow, your dear jane looks fabulous. Mine is still just about 50 completed individual blocks. That's it. I worked on it this summer - I needle turned applique a couple of blocks while on a trip. Got a long way to go.
I really like your Cherry Trees blocks.
Wow! You're quilts are both quite an accomplishment. Happy Thanksgiving.
Gorgeous. For the Album, try flower pots in corners and see how they look. Your work continues to amaze me.
I'll just pick up my jaw off the keyboard, what stunning stuff Lori!
Wow, your quilts look great! I'm thankful that you keep posting on your wonderful blog. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. The kids + us will be five this year. Low key holidays are nice!
My hat goes off to you, Lori. A 10 or 11 year project that you will most likely finish this year. That's awesome. I always love a Dear Jane Quilt!
The DJ quilt is absolutely gorgeous. Can't believe you are almost done with it! And, of course, the applique is fabulous. You are very inspirational....and, of course, someone I'm very thankful for as my friend!!!
Gorgeous!!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving, Lori!!
Love your applique blocks! Your Jane quilt is looking awesome. Keep quilting...
Hello Lori, Happy Thanksgiving...loved seeing your Dear Jane.....I am gradually working on mine...Regards, O'faigh
Wow - I don't do much applique - you have an impressive bunch of quilt blocks to admire! Incredible!!!
So how did you do that photo layout?
Your blocks are just stunning. Well done.
