From those of us who are working on this quilt and will likely never get to see it in person- THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Great pictures and good to see it closer-up. Now off to sew today's block!

Wow!!! I know nothing about the Dear Jane quilt, but I realize that someone made it by hand years ago now. It is something to behold!!! Thank you for taking pictures for us!

The ability to figure out the mathematics for the blocks, cut and sew with precision and quilt with no electricity or calculators, etc. boggles my mind. Amazing in photo, and would be even more so in person.

Isn't that quilt marvelous? What a dictionary of quilt patterns. When books and patterns were not readily available, she had only to look at her own quilt to find a pattern for her next quilt. If she could make that variety, surely she could enlarge blocks as well for a never-ending source of inspiration.
