thats how i felt about jane too. i always knew i had to make one because every quilter in this area tells you from day one "its a milestone quilt that every quilter must make".
and i'll share this little story because i'll be writing about it on the blog.
about 7 months ago i found 3 lumps in my breast. i never said anything to any one - but the first thought that popped into my head was.........
i better start that jane quilt. then i thought i better get some friends involved in case i die or get to sick to finish it (did i mention i'm a very dark person and always play out the worse case scenario).
DH had no idea why i was talking about jane, buying all this stuff for jane, organizing a group, etc.
then i finally went to the doctor and had tons of scans and lucky for me its just benign cysts and nothing to worry about.
so i finally told DH why all the jane stuff and he turn around to me with a dead serious face and said
"so, you thought you might only have 6 months to live and the only thing you wanted to do was make a quilt????"
i said "its not the only thing, i planned on eating alot of bacon."
