It's been a long time since I've posted about Lady Jane. Those hexies just kind of took over. Last week I focused on hand quilting again and made it across the width of the quilt!
Here are photos from left to right.
These darker gray fabrics stitcher harder than the lighter colors. I think it has to do with with the white designs.
This gray leaf fabric stitches the hardest of all!
As usual, you can't see the quilting on the floral border but it does show on the dark outside border.
I've rolled and this is the next swath to be quilted. You can see after I finish the quilting on this churn dash row, the next section is the checkerboard border before the outside border. I'm getting close to the finish! This picture shows the true colors of the fabrics in Lady Jane.
Here is a link to the Lady Jane pattern.
Here is a link to all my Lady Jane posts. Here is a link to the first post about quilting Lady Jane. I see that she went into the quilting frame in January. I haven't been quilting her as long as I thought I had been.

Lady Jane is one of my favorite quilts you've done! At least I thought it was until I was catching up with blog reading and saw Star Dance! It certainly was worth the time you put into it. It's fantastic! Have a safe and happy holiday!
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt, marvelous quilting!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be beautiful! I love a blue and white quilt. :)
ReplyDeleteSo close to another amazing finish! That border fabric is so beautiful with your blue block fabrics!
ReplyDeletelooks good and nearing the end.
ReplyDeleteYour blue and white Lady Jane is so elegant.
ReplyDeleteThose gray leaves would be a challenge to quilt/mark; but, it looks like you have more than conquered the challenge! This is such a gorgeous quilt. I drool every time you post about it!
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous!! Blue and white/grey just always speaks to me - one of the very best color combo.
ReplyDeleteSo, so close to a finish! This will be lovely to see once done.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely! I have trouble handquilting in a frame because of directional issues, like when I have to turn a corner and so my needle is at an awkward angle. How do you overcome that?
ReplyDeleteI have just returned to hand quilting a quilt that has been on the frame for months. It feels good to see progress happening. You are almost done!!
ReplyDeleteLady Jane is really gorgeous. You've been making steady progress on the quilting. Happy hand stitching this week.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a gorgeous quilt, Gretchen and to be quilted by hand makes it such a treasured work of love! Thanks for linking up with Monday Musings.
