Dear Jane Back from the Dead

 I had a nice sprint of finishing off UFOs at the beginning of the quarantine.  That was during spring break though and work soon got busier again.  Now that summer has officially begun, I decided to pull out another project and get it finished off.  The top border for my Rainbow Scrap Challenge Dear Jane quilt was done, and so I got that one sewn on yesterday. 
There are about 25 more blocks that I need to finish to get this quilt done.  Here are the next two. Just three more and the bottom row will be done.  As much as I loved making the Dear Jane blocks, I just don't enjoy the triangles all that much.  It is rainy this week though, so staying inside and getting some sewing done sounds good to me.  I've got a couple of weeks before my summer obligations kick in, so I will make the most of them.

so nice to see another Dear Jane - it has been quite a few years since I made (and finished) my two

I love your bright colours! I have been plugging away at my second one with the RSC colours. I found the triangles a piece of cake after I had made all those little blocks.

I was wondering what you would pull out to work on once Summer break hit.

Can't wait to see your Rainbow Scrap Challenge Dear Jane! The peek you showed looks amazing.

The Dear Jane quilt is beautiful. One thing to remember ... just because a pattern calls for something ... like difficult borders ... doesn't mean you have to make it that way. Sometimes finished is better than perfect!

Great Dear Jane blocks. I can't imagine sewing such little blocks.

What is that lovely Rainbow Trip block, Angela?! Best of luck on getting that DJ border finished and applied.

Well done in persevering with your Dear Jane quilt. Love that Rainbow block. What size are the individual squares?

Your Rainbow Dear Jane looks amazing! I'll enjoy seeing it progress!

The Dear Jane quilts are all spectacular, but so much work. What an accomplishment that will be.

Beautiful! I never thought to do a Dear Jane project following RSC. I think that's a great idea!

I like that others don't mind working on tiny blocks, and i appreciate the skill needed. But i never plan on making anything smaller than aa 3" finished 9-patch. I have a top of those done, just need to decide and make the border.
