I had made a template so that I would know where the cutting line was, and quilted within that line.
Good night everyone!

Last stages of Dear Jane
Today I have been quilting the last lines all around the triangles.
I had made a template so that I would know where the cutting line was, and quilted within that line.
It was a perfect day for doing this exciting job. This morning at 7.00, when I opened the curtains, I saw this:
And all day, it was perfect. Late in the afternoon, the low sun was shing through the dogwood leaves, they have such a beautiful lime green colour.
Then, a bit later in the early evening, the day finished like this:
And then I had finished the quilting (!!!!!), and started cutting the edges.......
Will I be able to sleep tonight? It is getting so exciting, to be so near finishing!
Good night everyone!

Oh my goodness...that is so beautiful from the little I can see in your hoop...I need to skip back through your blog to see more. I understand your excitement!
In stitches,
Teresa :o)
Happy Dance for you! What an accomplishment. I can truly relate, my last quilt took 5 1/2 months to quilt. So, yes, I too can understand your excitement. Congrats. It is going to be just beautiful.
Cheers,
Bobbie
Quite the accomplishment! I don't think I've ever seen a completed Dear Jane, apart from the original. You are so very close, no wonder you're almost sleepless!
I look forward to seeing the finished masterpiece.
Best regards, Kate
