I do that with most quilts so I can take it with me when I go someplace without hauling around the whole thing. Then when the sections are done, I put right sides together and sew the front, and then slip stitch the backing. I am hand stitching the whole thing. Piecing and then hand quilting when I am done. I will piece the borders, quilt them in sections and add them to the finished center. Then you can get the hand quilting easily. Here are the first 2 rows.

Thanks, Rhueluna. I'm also trying to match my blocks as closely to Jane's as I can. I've found that many of the patterns don't match her blocks exactly. She does a lot of reverse applique. Your blocks are beautiful.

Rhueluna - thanks for posting a good picture of your quilt. It is just wonderful! All that detail and work. And the quilting for each square is awesome, it really sets off the picture inside it. Are the blocks your designs? Or was it a kit, or from a book?

If you are talking about the large applique quilt in my avatar, it is my own designs and I drew all the patterns myself. They resemble old folk art type quilts from the civil war era. I am considering making the patterns for sale, but I know it would be a lot of work. I have some already saved but in separate blocks. I wasn't sure it would be worth all the work unless I had enough takers in it.
Thanks for the nice comments. I haven't quilted any of the dear Jane, so I am pretty sure you mean "42 Windows". :)
