Everyone I know who has done a Dear Jane quqilt found it very relaxing. Most of the 'gals' even commented on how relaxing it was to make. The blocks are small, hand stitched, and very portable. The hand stitching somehow connecteed them to a slower time in out history. Of course all they had ever planned to do was 1 or a very few blocks per month. They started out with this intent and enjoyed the process.
I hope you can take the time to go slow and enjoy the process.
