    Has anyone done a "dear Jane" quilt? I have seen some quilts and it looks like a lot of work, I do love applique but notoriously I start quilts and never finish them, so I am hesitant to spend $$ for the pattern book (to date I have 38 UFOs!! LOL)

    Use the search bar and you will find TONS of lovely examples of Jane.

    I have the book. I have the rulers. I have a dream. Now I just need the motivation. :D

    It must because you don't have the DJ software. I'm sure that's what is holding you back. :mrgreen:

    Wait. I have the all of those things. Except a finished DJ. :roll:

    We had a BOM here on the board last year, and several have been finished, with more still working on them.

    I made one block for my grandmother's Dear Jane wall-hanging. It came out lovely and looks like a lot of fun to make.

    It strikes me as the sort of thing that you could make up a bunch of little kits to take along- just pick away at it by doing a block at a time, when you feel like it, if you think you'd get bogged down trying to do it all "in one sitting".

    I'd wait if I were you. 38 ufo's need to be whittled down first. Dear Jane blocks take time.
