Well - I am a sucker for punishment apparently, as I started a Dear Jane in 2017 or so, and did about 25 squares... lost my momentum and couldn't get back into it. Realized after several sessions of looking at my blocks etc that the reason I didn't want to do any more was because I didn't love the background or the fabrics. Those got set aside (and donated to an orphan block thing)...
I started again about 18 months ago with a navy mottled background (Northcott Toscana) and various batiks. I really liked this version and worked on it steadily until about six months ago when life conspired to keep me away from it. Recently I got back at it with great gusto and now I am finishing my last couple of triangles and two corners. Then it's final assembly and basting it for hand quilting....
