ladies, if i had to do it over again, i would QAYG, doing the top and batting only. the y way lacelady suggested. the material and batting is way toooo thick. i used the lightest batting i could fine, but the thickness is still too much to get a needle thru. i end up using a little pair of sissors to pull the needle thru lots. are they in the pic? sandpat QAYG. a lot of the ladies did. and i would only do one row of quilting down the middle in the sashings.

How beautiful is your Dear Jane, SewnSo. Yours will be my inspiration when I get bogged down and think I can't go on.

if you all can get to the orginal DJ and then the 'sub topics'. with the weeks, i have a thread called "dear jane top going together" showed progress, etc. and i went to bennington vt. in oct. pic's are on 'flicker'. can't give you a link. i'm not good enough. but if you use 'sewNso1'. you can find it. be sure and use the #1 after my name. my sony camera did a real good job. I was reallllly sick during the months i did my DJ blocks. my asthma, then pnemonia, just kicked my butt that winter. so DJ gave me something to do, when i didn't have the breath to do anything else. that's why and how come, i could do mine so fast. and i must admit, YOU ALL need to do a better job than i did on mine. i had to fix blocks, and seams afterwards. double check, for color correctness, 1/4 " seams, and look at the right side with a magnifying glass almost to make sure you have caught every seam good. But i do like Brenda's saying 'the best you can do on any given day'. then go on.
