Liberty Blue Jane top completed!!!!!

Well here it is 17th June and I have achieved my goal before the end of June!!!! Yes, the Liberty Blue Dear Jane quilt top is completed!!!! The first square, A-5 - Cathie's Campfire, was completed on 5th April 2011, and I finished the embroidery on the Bottom Right Corner last night, 16th June 2013.
The journey however does not end here as once I have decided on a backing fabric I will have to baste and then hand quilt it! That could take me another 2 years or so!!!
If anyone has any ideas on what fabric to use for the backing I would appreciate it, although I should probably use 'Liberty'. I am assuming 2 widths should be enough.

Triangles, triangles everywhere!!!


On a roll now with my triangles - half way through the left side now!! Really getting the hang of paper piecing now which makes the job so much quicker.

Making my way down the right hand side.....


ANZAC day today.
A time to remember the diggers who fought and died in WW1.
Jane's quilt was made during wartime too, so seemed fitting to do another few triangles!
Here are the first 6 for the right hand side. Some minor mistakes (especially RS3), but I am certainly not unpicking all that appliqué for anyone........
