Well done Patti, sorry you have a sick machine, hate having to be without mine to, although now I have a back up machine, really old but it works in times of need.

Good luck with the quilting Janstar.

Lesley asked me to post my effort so far so here you go. I just broke my last machine needle so am stuck till tomorrow.
Coming along well though, am happy with it

Thanks Meredith, I have had to move a two but other than than its it going together better than anticipated.

Elle, I would be more than "happy with it"...I'd be jumping up and down! Asian Jane is looking gorgeous! I can't wait to see more rows!

I tell you guys, when I tell people that I am working on my Jane and what stage it is in, they look at me like I was nuts to have even started. I have been so happy with each milestone on this quilt though! Each step makes me so excited and I am more in love with the quilt with every step that gets completed...Do you feel that way??

those are awesome elle

Yes people I have told just "don´t get it" and why would you be so excited about it. anyway, as you say each step is a definate milestone and can´t wait to get the centre finished.
Glad you like my Jane

Yesterday at my LQS, we were talking about Jane (she looked at me like I had 4 heads) and then I told her about AOTH because I wanted to look for fabric for it...she just moaned and said.."I'd NEVER get finished with that!" , but agreed that its a great looking quilt. I think that they prefer that you do really quick, really easy quilts so that they could sell more fabric (as if I don't buy enough as it is..LOL!)

Patti & Elle, I agree, I love my quilt more and more, truly it may be a greater appreciation of all that effort and sense of accomplishment! For many reasons, I am thrilled with mine too! If I had felt it possible to hand quilt mine, I would have! :D

This may seem silly, but I have slowed down working on mine and finished a couple smaller projects, but now I think I want to enjoy all the finishing and since I am ahead of schedule I don't feel the need to rush.

Patti, you might consider a sit down long arm when you are ready, as those do not take up as much space.

Your rows are just gorgeous Elle! Love the black sashing!!

I know what you all mean about other people and Jane. Most here have never heard of the quilt before so I give them a bit of history and tell them to look her up on line. It's frustrating that you can't talk to someone about her. Thank goodness for you guys!! Oh, I quilted 10 blocks last night while watching American Idol. You are right, they go pretty fast.
