On the scallops...those scared me to death! Actually..search for scallops and binding...I did a tute for them. Its listed on the Jane Stickle topic section.
I also checked out "Affairs of the Heart" and can't wait to see more of those. Wow--the blocks are just stunning. But, I have missing genes that are required to make these pieces... I know my limits!! :D

Karla...I don't buy the "missed genes"....you just are busy working right now and need to complete your projects a little quicker than these allow. Well...for some of us anyway. Lacelady completed her Baby Jane in 7 months +/- a few days...now...THAT was amazing, but thanks. You know you could make one with enough time.

As I worked on it, Lacelady mentioned that she was going to use a solid color for her triangles that went between the pieced triangles. This would make the pieced triangles stand out more. I liked the idea (so I stole it from her), but I then decided to try some trapunto in them as well.
Without the group on this board...I wouldn't have undertaken this project, but thanks to the group...I have a finished quilt! I learned a ton making it too! Thank you, thank you to the DJ ladies..you know who you are...!
Here is the finished product..all the blocks (the center and the tris) are hand quilted. I then did machine quilting in the ditches of the sashing/cornerstones. The trapunto and pebbling were done by machine..my regular domestic Bernina.

Every time I see a Dear Jane I want to make one.. I've even bought the book.. but it is such a huge undertaking, that I'm afraid to start. You've done a beautiful beautiful job! Your quilting really adds another layer of intest and uniquness to this wonderful quilt...
