There are probably two more week of quilting for Lady Jane then she'll be ready for binding.
This post is about quilting the checkerboard border. Maybe it's not really a checkerboard but that's what I'm calling it. First I stitched in the ditch on the bottom of the blue bottom sashing. When that was finished, I advanced the rollers. I have no problem quilting close to the roller when it's diagonal stitching but I do when it's horizontal.
Here is a better look at the checkerboard border.
Still not close enough? How is this?
It's hard to see the white thread on the white side of the bottom edge but it's there. Now I need to do the same thing on the top edge.
Now I've rolled and the whole top border shows. After I quilt the top blue sashing of the checkerboard border, I'll advance a little more then quilt probably half of the flowered border.
Here's a better look at that blue to be stitched in the ditch.

I have so enjoyed Lady Jane stitching and was avidly watching to see how your baptist fans ended at the borders where your border stitching took over... now I see it clearly thanks to your AWESOME photo skills! Thanks!
Beautiful stitches and design... have a wonderful Sunday!

Love this quilt and watching the quilt come together! Beautiful quilting Gretchen! Such a lovely piece!
Your quilting is lovely and so looking forward to seeing this beauty done!
I'm wondering what will be going on your quilt frame next - it looks like we are at the same point on our quilt frames - both of us to the last border.
Beautiful quilting
Beautiful stitches and so exciting to be close to a finish on your quilting. Enjoy your Sunday.
So close to a beautiful finish! I too have thoroughly enjoyed each and every post about Lady Jane!
Beautiful stitching, I have loved seeing this progress! Great work!
I love your fabrics and thank you for the close up shots - I'm drooling! LOL
You are so very close to being finished. This is such a pretty quilt. I like the way you are quilting that border.
It's been such a delight to watch your quilting progress on Lady Jane, you are so close now to the finish line.
The Baptist Fan is perfect. susie@susies-scraps.com.com
Always a joy to watch your progress. Such fun for me. How far apart are the lines of stitching on your baptist fans, just curious. Do you usually use the same spacing for them or do you use various widths?
Your quilting is gorgeous, Gretchen. I always get a spark to quilt when I visit and see your fabulous quilts. Have a great week working on Lady Jane.
Your hand quilting is always beautiful. This quilt will be a stunner!
