I am going to find the book today and see what quilting is in the scallops and what color blue the binding is. I've never done a scallop binding before.
I thought I'd show you one of my old favorite snuggle quilts. Millennium Garden by Jan Patek made in 2003. I put the brushed side of some cotton on the back so it's a little like flannel. It has quite a bit of machine quilting too so it makes a good winter quilt.
Have a fantastic weekend and week!! I'm leaving town for a girls retreat on Monday. It will include good friendship, sewing and a bit of wine.....

Love your Jan Patek snuggle quilt too. All wonderful goodies to enjoy for Christmas :)
Have fun at your retreat!
Good on you for meeting your goal with the Jane Stickle quilt - it looks amazing!
Thanks for showing the whole quilt and congratulations on finishing the triangles!!! It is beautiful. Have fun on your girls retreat. I envy you.
Lori....your Jane quilt is fabulous! Yay that you met your deadline! Woohoo is right! :o)
I love that snuggle quilt you did. It is beautiful, and I'm betting really comfy, too!
Have a great time at retreat! Laugh, sew, and sip.....Yay! Can't beat that!
Dear Jane looks absolutely amazing...great to achieve your goal...congratulations!
That was me! I LOVE it!! It is a stunning quilt. Have fun on your retreat!!
Lori, Your DJ quilt looks wonderful! Wow, you're brave going on retreat a week before Christmas...have fun. Merry Christmas!
Congrats on making your quilting goal!!! You did a whole lot better than me! :-) Lol!! Have fun!
Yaaaay! How good that must feel to reach a goal and even a few days early. It's looking great!!
Your Jane Stickle quilt looks great! What an achievement... - and just love your snuggle quilt too! Hope you have a good Christmas with family and friends!
I could not figure out what scallops you were talking about because the edges look straight to me. Then I read that you have the backing folded over the edges. Now it makes sense. I am in love with your quilt.
I have the Millenium Garden pattern set sitting on the back of my sewing machine cabinet. I have a bundle of Brannock and Patek fabric that I am going to attempt to use for the applique. I hope I can make it work. You made yours quite a while back. I like quilts with the brushed cottons or flannel on the back. It makes for a soft, cozy and warm feeling. My very favorite quilt to cover up with has flannel on the back.
Lori, your Dear Jane is amazing! Congratulations for reaching your goal.
Your Dear Jane is stunning! There is a rmuour around my house that I may be getting the book for Christmas.
Your DJ is wonderful. Allow plenty of time to do the binding. A scalloped binding is not a quick job. It is lovely to see the Millenium quilt made in light colours. Very nice.
Congratulations on meeting your goal on the DJ quilt. For some of us, DJ is a life-long project. Your Patek quilt looks very snuggly. Wish I was under it right now!
Congrats on your finish!
That is so beautiful and so much work went into it, I need to learn to be more patient so I can make large pieced quilts.

Woo Hoo is right! Beautiful work.
And the retreat sounds perfect. Wish I could join you. Have fun.
Way to go Lori. That quilt is awesome. I love it.
Congratulations on meeting your goal Lori - and an amazing one at that!!
Oh it looks so wonderful! You must be so pleased. Thanks for showing the Jan Patek quilt too. It's a pattern I have never seen and it looks so fun.
Thanks for showing the whole quilt! I hope you did a victory dance or dance of joy as you finished up your triangles--or at least let out a few whoops! Feels so good to accomplish a goal.
Love that snuggle quilt, too!
Your quilt is gorgeous,
Your DJ is lovely. Looking forward to seeing how you do with the scalloped edge and border. I'm guessing you'll be able to finish it with ease.
Snuggle quilts are our favorites, aren't they? And this one is a beauty too.
That retreat sounds like the perfect way to relax. Have fun!
Wonderful, lovely work! Your DJ is beautiful and sweet! Also love the Jan Patek quilt...very homey and warm blocks.
Your DJ is absolutely gorgeous!
Way to go, Lori! I haven't done the scallops yet, but everyone says to read Linda Franz' instructions on how-to do them. Congratulations on making your goal!
way too stunning, using a plate for scallops works for me all i've ever used....what an awesome accomplishment!
High Five Lori!
You are one amazing quilter! Where do you get so much resolve???
DJ is soooo pretty and it'll be prettier once the scallops and binding are in.
Well done !
It is on my to make list.
What fabulous progress you've made, it looks so amazing. Congratulations on reaching the goal too. Love the snugly quilt.
Have a great retreat, it sounds like a good way to draw breath before Christmas.
Your Jane quilt is magnificent Lori, you must be feeling so proud.

Congrats on reaching your goal! My hand quilting has gone out the window this last week with all the holiday goings ons *lol*
Just relax and enjoy the scallops - then you will wonder why you thought they would be difficult.
Oh, Lori. The DJ is beautiful! Oh, I hope I can make some more DJ triangles over break. Did you enjoy making the corner blocks?
WOW!! Took my breath away!! I now need OXYGEN!! STUNNING!!

Just beautiful, what an accomplishment. Have fun at retreat!
I knew you would get it done. It is so AWESOME!!!! Have a great time on your sewing retreat - sounds like fun!
Do you hear that sound. It's me clapping and shouting "Bravo". Your quilt is fantastic.
I love the Jan Patek quilt. I just got another of her books, "Home for the Holidays" and can't wait to start a new project.
Enjoy your retreat. Say hi to Randy for me. Hugs
Both are beautiful! I have Jan's book but just never got around to making the quilt. I may rethink that since seeing yours. Your Jane quilt is just awesome. Congratulations on meeting your triangle goal. I can't wait to see it with scallops.
Fantastic news! Your longtime project is finally become a dream come true. That is wonderful!
Love your snuggle quilt too, it does look very cozy and fun to study while covered up and warm :)
Woehoe, you did it! Well done! Maybe 2011 will be the finish of this quilt and 2012 definitely will!
Love the other snuggle quilt too.
Your Dear Jane quilt is awesome! Hope to see it some day! I love the other quilt too! Have fun on your retreat!
Your DJ is absolutely beautiful. What a terrific accomplishment! Happy Holidays!
What an achievement! dosen't matter how long it has taken you are almost at the finishing post.
Be careful not to much wine now you might miss Goal!
Make sure the wine doesn't end up on the quilt!
Fabulous job - you must be over the moon to be so close to the finish!
The Jan Patek quilt is lovely too!
Have a great Christmas Lori!
Congratulations Lori on your Jane quilt. I love this quilt and have wanted to make one myself for years. Maybe this year I will start. Merry Christmas and I know you'll stay warm under your new quilt.
Congratulations Lori. It is breathtaking!

Yay for the triangle finish! Way to get to goal! Your Jane is wonderful. Will you be unfolding the edge at your retreat, or is that for an after Christmas surprise? Love the snuggle quilt.
Your Dear Jane is just fantastic!!!! Love your other quilt too.
