"Dear Hannah" (DH) is another quilt by Brenda Papadakis. The book contains a sampler quilt in the 'Dear Jane" (DJ) style" and letters to her granddaughter, Hannah.
DJ has 169 center blocks (13x13), while DH is a bit smaller with 143 center blocks (11x13). DH has quite a bit more applique than the DJ quilt (approx. half of the center DH blocks are applique). The blocks are the same size in both quilts, though you can adjust their size in the EQ software.
The physical DH book is out of publication, but it was republished in an E-Book format, for a very low price:

On Sale for a low price:
DEAR HANNAH: QUILT DESIGN SOFTWARE

Please note the DH software is NOT standalone. You must have one of the following:
* DJ Software
* EQ 5, 6 or 7
I recommend the DJ software, because it handles the side triangles and corner kites better than the regular EQ software.
