I finished up my little quilt that I made using the little Dear Jane blocks that Marianne, my 2010 DJSS, sent me each month.
This was my first experience using big stitch quilting with perle cotton. I only quilted on the center of the sashing (1/2" wide strips) and around the outside of the quilt. It was easy to do and I love how it turned out. I used a thicker batting than I normally do, and I'm very happy with how each DJ block puffs up a bit.
Here's a close up of the quilt stitching.
Thanks again, Marianne, for being such a super secret sister.

Oooh! I love how this turned out, especially the big stitch quilting. It's very effective. And you say I made the blocks? Well, well (puffing up a bit)!
