Dear Jane update!

 I finished this quilt top!!!  Hurrah!  I had always wanted to remake this quilt, lots bigger...wow, did I ever do that.
 The borders were the most fun to make, and the fact that I made the entire quilt from scraps.  I love that part!
 Lori, I just love this block, and I re bordered it.  The pink is very pink is real life...just playing here!
This was an orphan block, so I layered it up and quilted.  YES!  on my domestic machine, and there are no puckers.  Please note this fact down in the record books, please!!





DEAR JANE update.  I did work on it yesterday, but it was cutting all the five inch sashing strips, so nothing photo worthy...but I did accomplish something, anyway.

Please take a look...these quilters are working on Dear Jane, too!

Your Star Quilt is stunning! I love all the plaids and know what a joy it is to use scraps in a quilt. Lovely work on it and on the other two blocks as well. Your flowers with the pink trim is wonderful.
I finished sewing all the HST's onto the strip squares yesterday and now I can start sewing those squares into blocks! Bigger units will mean faster progress now :-)

Cute little floral block. Did Lori make it?
Okay--it has been placed in my record book. No puckers! Monumental! :)

I love your star quilt. And to make it entirely from the fabric you had in hand makes it that much more special.
