I just viewed the Jane Stickle quilt this past Saturday. While the photos in the link show a corner turned over to view the back, when I saw it, it is not displayed so you can see the back, only the front. There is a rope but no glass so you can get very close to it and you could actually touch it but I have respect for museum displays and such a fragile textile as the DJ quilt so I didn't but I got my nose within inches of it to view the stitching. Definitely all hand done as far as the quilting and applique. I suspect the piecing was also done by hand as many of the odd angles are much easier acheived by hand piecing. It was not done QAYG and the hand quilting is very fine, tiny stitches evenly spaced. If you enlarge the picture on the link you can make out the stitches on the back. It is constructed as a traditional quilt with very thin batting. It really is amazing.
