Re quilting, I have been looking at the photos of original in the book, and Jane seemed to most often quilt across the blocks in diagonal fashion, rather than around individual patches inside each seam. I don't think I can trim my seam allowances down after having made the blocks, I think had I been going to do that, it would have been easier during construction. I will have to contemplate further.

i think the only way it would be inexpensive (as far as quilting goes) is to do an all over design by a long armer which you can get as low as $150.
the only question is, do you want an all over meander type of design on your quilt.

Hmmm, I am of the opinion I will end up doing it myself. We have one professional longarmer here in Ireland, but somehow I don't think this quilt is going to lend itself to an overal design, and I don't know that I would be happy shipping it to the USA - just the thought of it getting lost along the way is enough to give me the heebyjeebies.

Yeah I wouldn't really want to send it somewhere I can't get to within a few hours max. Maybe with lots of luck by the time I am done I will be confident enough to actually do it all myself. and maybe by then DH will have bought me a hoop or frame to fit it on, hint hint, I will have to mention this to him,lol
