SewNso...my hat is off to you. Gorgeous!!! Please more pictures. Are you putting yours together the way leslie did hers?

absolutely beautiful

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.

Happy Birthday Jacquie! What great timing on your delivery. You will have so much fun and end up with a wonderful quilt. I'll be cheering you along!
