Black and White and Bright All Over Jane

I am making steady progress on the black and white version of the Dear Jane quilt I am making.  I have 5 more 66" seams and an accompanying 5 x 66" of hand sewing the sashing down and then the center portion will be done!  Here's the back of the rows - I tried to use a square of the same b&w print used on the front of the block on the backs. I ran out of some, so it's not perfect. I used each B&W fabric at most three times and there is only one instance where the same fabric is right next to another. Not bad, I think!

The quilt as you go technique is perfect for this quilt and makes the quilt reversible, which is why I'm showing the back here. 

I still have the side borders to make...I'm only piecing the corner kites and one triangle to put in the middle of each side.  I have all but the pieced triangle done on one side:

Once I make the pieced triangles for the center of each row and get them all done, I will have to figure out how I am going to quilt them. I am leaning toward simple one line of echo quilting in both the black and b&w triangles or just the b&w triangles using the variegated thread I used for the center blocks.

And I have the corner kites done:

I need to decide what to put on the kite with the yellow flower. This is the piece Jane Stickle used as a label. I will machine embroider the start and end years (2013-2015) and maybe my first name and last initial, along with the city where I live.

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
