    Question I feel stupid asking this, but....

    what is a Dear Jane quilt? How does it differ from other quilts? Does the quilt have anything to do with American Jane fabric? I guess that's three questions. Would someone take pity and clue me in?

    Thank you SO much! My name is Jane and I'm intrigued - now I have to try to make one.

    Your quilt is so beautiful! I can't imagine sewing all those thousands of pieces together. As I get better at quilting, maybe I'll have the gumption to try!

    This is a quilt that I would love to make - I'm so used to string piecing and this one you cut for one block at a time - I've been working on a couple block of the month quilts in order to get used to that process. I may have to spring for the book - the next problem is how to choose the colors for it!
