I was asked to post a pic of some of the blocks I started quilting over the weekend, so here goes. I have quilted them as similarly as I can, comparing them to pics in the book. Where I couldn't see, then I did my own thing, in the style of Jane, so to speak. This is the first half a dozen, but I have done about 8 more, so far.[/quote]

LOVELY WORK, Lacelady!! I've been "lurking" around the DJ messages and the whole project really intrigues me! I'm going on an extended boat trip next week and taking the beginnings with me. Hope I have the determination to keep at it as well as everyone here is doing.

Lacelady, I read with interest how you're quiliting as you go....very nice! I hadn't thought that far ahead, but it sure makes sense with all that intricate work. Question though: would it work to put the backing on each square along with the batting and then do the quilting as you're doing? Then you'd have the quilted pattern on the back also. Just a thought.

Thank you for sharing your expertise! You are appreciated!!
