    Default finished my Dear Jane
    after a long time. I started in December 2011 and was working on it on and off. I handquilted it and like the crumbled look. I did not dare to go for a scaloped border and made it straight to fit a king size bed.
    Thanks for looking.

    Absolutely stunning! Your fabric choices are superb for a Dear Jane! Well worth the time you put into it. Sometimes masterpieces can not be rushed.
    I love the way you finished the edges to make it fit the bed. Just absolutely Beautiful!

    Love the scallops,the color.everything.....think taking scallops off would detract . It is perfect as is in my opinion.
