    How long did it take you to complete a "Dear Jane" quilt?

    I started Dear Jane or should I say Baby Jane mid last year completing only 18 squares, I've picked it back up again this last weekend after finishing another quilt. My goal is to at least do a lot more than 18 squares this year in between other projects. Just interested to hear how others journeyed through it and at what speed? XX

    I haven't made a Dear Jane, but admire others who have. Most seem to say it took them 1.5 years. They haven't said if this was the only project they were working on, or one of many. Could we see some pictures of the blocks you have finished?

    I wouldn't even want to attempt to make one. I think a friend started working on one but I don't think she has stuck to her schedule.
    A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort

    Ok, forgot to put the quote itn. sorry.

    I can't find them. I tried a search of the Pictures forum, but is there a special place for Dear Jane?

    It is taking me forever - I bought the book and CD and it's sitting on my shelf. I think (once I get started), it will be a long term, in between other projects project!! Would love to see photos of your completed squares!

    I'm just hand stitching the binding on the back now and I began almost exactly 3 years ago. But like many others, did take some long breaks in between.

    Never regret growing older, its a privilege denied to many.
    Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

    T – is it True? H – is it Helpful? I – is it Inspiring? N – is it Necessary? K – is it Kind?
