    I think one could get a similar effect if one purchased a border type print for the outside.

    I don't know the name of the sashing they used - but it looks like it would be fairly easy to do with strip piecing.

    Three strips alternating with 9-patch posts.

    Will just have to wait and see what comes back - and play with them for a while to see if they have an idea of what they want done with them.

    And there is no law against making a few more to "fill in" - - - -

    In a way I now wish I had made another set to get more back - but I was SO relieved to finally get mine done (late) and sent to KLue.

    i figured out what they call that type of applique when you cut motifs out of fabric.

    its called Broderie Perse

    So the motifs are not actually stitched on? I wondered what broderie perse was.

    thats right, they would just cut out flowers and stuff from chintz fabric and applique those motifs to a background.

    you can do the applique part however you like - needleturn, fusible, etc.

    I just found this while looking for something else. It is called Dear Jane at Sea. I thought it was an interesting version of a Dear Jane.

    Klue It's a lot more intricate for sashings but I love the look! I might use it for a wall hanging but I wouldn't have the patience to do a whole quilt with it!

    WOW!

    I definitely think these quilts should be referred to as "Inspired by Quilt Made by Jane A. Stickle" instead of the "Dear Jane" quilts -

    even though it's a lot longer - I think it's much more accurate and gives honor and respect to the original maker of the quilt.

    I was looking to see if I could find a name for the sashing in the quilt Klue showed and I saw this site listed so had to check it out. It is so beautiful but looks very very time consuming! I like the colors she chose tho they aren't ones I would have chosen.
