Dear Jane refers to the quilt made during the Civil War by Jane Stickle. she made her blocks 4-1/2" finished. between the square blocks in the main body of the quilt, and the triangles for the border, there are 225 of the little suckers.

i don't know if she was nuts before she started, but i know i WILL be by the time i'm done.

:shock:

:shock: all righty then..you go right ahead :shock: .......thank you so much for the info!! That is really interesting!! I am going to research that.THANKS!!! :-)

OH WOW...no that I checked this out, I must say this is one of the most beautiful quilts I ever seen. After I get myself more practice, I may just have to try this myself.

I was took a class with Brenda Papadakis (sp), made or worked on 3? blocks. Not for me thanks. :lol:

PatriceJ, We would love to see your blocks, I admire and love the ones I have seen.

i just noticed that not all the points are going the same way. for this exercise, does that matter?

Pretty rosebuds all in a row!! Mine are cut now to sew.

i don't see why it should matter. real flowers aren't perfect, either. but they're still pretty. :-)

Patrice, I love the way your points are. Everyone is unique in their own way. Would not change it. Would make a beautiful whole quilt top like that! Bootsie

nice colors.

I could never even try it.
