So..when I get them all quilted, I will lay them out and rearrange any that I need to. I've noticed a couple that are close together that somehow ended up being fabrics that are very close in color/pattern or tone. They will have to find new homes. I don't think there are many...but a few. Then I'll sew the sashing/cornerstones on. I'm so excited about it!
I still have to find a quilting pattern for the between tris also. Meredith..I'd love to do mine on a LA...but it isn't in the cards..so maybe next time?? Jan, I agree...those weeks were almost boring..can you believe we say that?? LOL!!
Jane just did boring straight vertical lines on her between tris, about half an inch apart. Perhaps she was running out of ideas by the time she got to them. Even diagonal lines would be more interesting.
Ah, but was it just Jane that did it all. Could it have been a "community' gift for Jane when she was going through difficult times or when she re-married or .. .. who knows. To me it looks as though many hands have sewn this quilt, which could also explain some of the 'oddities'. Just thought I would put this out there. Cheers
