That quilt is just so beautiful. You were so lucky to see it. Thank you for giving us a peek. I just can't imagine all the hours of hard work she put into it. How she must of treasured it.

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.

Definately labor of love. Thank you for sharing with us.

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.

I'm so glad you shared! What an awesome quilt!

Beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing this with us!!

Your husband gave you a great gift--he's a keeper. Dear Jane is such a very special quilt.

I am new at quilting and I don't know the story behind it. Would someone give me the background on this fantastic quilt?
