ReplyDeleteI was going to ask if you quilted each block differently but I can see in the close-ups that you have quilted what suits each one.
Do you have plans for another big adventure in quilting?

Congratulations! Your Jane is gorgeous! I hope to finish mine one day. :-)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning?
ReplyDeleteYou DID it! Hooray, those scalloped borders are great. It marvels me how someone can get a top like this done and hand quilted, it would take me like 20 years.
ReplyDeleteTime to enjoy every day until.... a long time...
Amazing! I wonder how someone can do something like that. So beatiful.
ReplyDeleteOf all the accomplishments you have had in your entire life, I suspect this is one of the most amazing and satisfying!! Congratulations on a wonderfully beautiful quilt!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an accomplishment! It is beautiful. I have made about 50 blocks but am doubting that I can ever finish... something always pushes ahead. Very inspiring to see your 'Baby Jane'. Thank you for sharing.

ReplyDeleteFinishing a Dear Jane quilt is a huge accomplishment!
I love that you made the scalloped edge too!
Stunning!!!!
