Klue, so great to have you back with us! Thoughts and prayers for DH, also.
Lacelady, I hear you about heebeejeebies. Just the thought of shipping internationally makes me feel lightheaded!!
I'll be hand quilting and realize it will take me a VERY long time to do so but I love hand quilting. It's incredibly relaxing. I have seen a couple Janes at shows and the ones I've seen have been hand quilted with each block having a unique pattern...probably because of those seams...but they're an incredible site to behold.
I started out with a lot of hand sewing.I hope to finish another quilt soon---that should be great practice for Jane. I'm hoping I'll get faster but am ok with my s-l-o-w pace for now.

I wondered because I am going to do this on point with black triangles between my DJ blocks I could do a design in each of the black blocks and just leave the DJ free. Would this work? I am relatively new at quilting so all ideas welcome.

I've been having the same thoughts about quilting mine. I want it as close to authenic as possible. Wish we could see how she did hers. I've looked and strained my eyes trying to see hers but can't. Are'nt we all something thinking that far down the road? I call it confident!!

Lacelady, I have access to a couple frames but prefer to use a large hoop. I have several different styles but have a couple favorites. My hoops are from my grandmother and the frames from my mother. Since I learned with the hoop originally and have had the freedom of turning the hoop rather than my hand, I have a more difficult time with the restrictions of a frame.
