Dear Jane is a Flimsy!!

After 10 years, my Dear Jane is finally a flimsy.  She has been through hurricanes, swim meets, road trips, holidays, and so much more.

At Thanksgiving I knew I was close to finishing.  Since I had started on December 29, 2014 I knew that I had to try to finish at the 10 year mark.  It was the push I needed to get it done.  The center was complete, the triangle blocks were finished, and the solid triangles were cut.  So it was just a matter of attaching the triangles and finishing the corner kites.  Very doable.  Every week I got a little bit more done.  

Little S did the final embroidery.

Last night Little S, who is now College S, put the last stitches in the embroidery (my eyes just can't do that anymore) and I sewed the last kite corner into position.  WOW!  WOW!  WOW!

Last kite corner for Dear Jane. 

My idea for the scallops is to sew a long strip to each side and quilt over it.  After all the quilting is done, I will mark and cut the scallops and then bind.  

Finished Flimsy

I am very pleased with the outcome and with myself for sticking with it.  Every project after this is going to seem easy peasy!
