Dear Jane cheater cloth
 

I found this site that has Dear Jane cheater cloth on sale.

Now thats probably the only way I'm going to do a Dear Jane. LOL

That is nice! It says that it is a kit and comes with the quilt top, binding and the pattern - If it is a cheater cloth, I'm confused as to what "pattern" you would need!!!

As far as I am concerned, nothing used in quilt making is a cheater. All fabrics are in the game. Only way I would make a dear jane quilt.

You've got it, Jingle. That's why I call these "efficiency panels"....there's really no *cheating* involved, you still have work to do quilting them!:thumbup:

How neat Susanna! Thanks for posting it.

That's so true Jingle & Jan. We should all start using your term Jan. "Efficiency panels" .... Love it!

Tartan, did you mean this one by Linda D? http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t212297.html

I was unable to find any Dear Jane fabrics at all on that link above.

I couldn't find it either but if anybody does find it, please post it. Sounds like fun!

You know what - I bet they sold out. I googled and found another quilt shop carrying it:

Also a comment and a cute project on Flicker:

And a great picture in a post from our very own GrannieLOU:

I have these from a quilter's estate sale. They are pieces from a panel, representing 20 different blocks; currently in six pieces. I thought at one time I would use them for quilt labels, but I will probably not use them, so will sell for $2 (All) plus postage.

That shop is in Australia shop so the shipping will be pricey for sure!

Jan, I call them "instant" quilts or whole cloth. Both terms fit, but I really like your "efficiency panels" !!!

Jenny, I'm interested. What would shipping be?

A few weeks ago I emailed that source in Australia for information on ordering the DJ cloth and they never responded to me. I guess I'll have to be happy with the real one I made.

Back Door in Greenwood, Indiana had some on the clearance rack. Not sure how much.

Ozquilts doesn't charge much at all for shipping. I just ordered two panels.

Liked what I saw a lot but didn't see cheater cloth there, so may not have clicked on the right stuff.

I also looked everywhere. Typed in a number of things and still came up empty. Hope someone
can come up swith the answer.

Ozquilts is very good to deal with.
baystitch.com.au has the triangle boarder print "Dear Jane ll" 32708-x
for sale. I have both these fabrics but I have not made the quilt as yet with fires and floods too much else on the plate.

Thank you for posting for I couldn't find it either.

Could not find it on the site. Could they have removed it after being sold out perhaps?

Kalama, I am ignorant about these fabrics but does this help at all?

close :) that is the side triangles and miles too much, but thank you very much for looking for me!
the center blocks were 4.5" and a few could be incorporated into my project, just because making that quilt was a wild ride :) and made me a much better block maker.
I gave my book and templates to a member here or I'd bestir my stumps and figure out something to add.

it's a whim really :) thanks again.

"bestir my stumps" is an expression I hadn't heard before. I understand the meaning, but I'm curious. Is it a regional saying?

Kalama, there are at least two sites online that offer paper piecing patterns if you'd like to incorporate a few DJ blocks - my favorite is https://www.hobbystash.com/category/dear-jane/

thanks Marianne, it's been so long since I've been in the DJ loop I'd forgotten all about those.

Dunster...Rob once said I talk like a hillbilly, what ever that is, and probably not legal to use the term anymore.
But 'fer cryin' upstairs in a bucket, I yam what I yam :)

edited to add: Marianne...that was a trip down memory lane! thanks again~

OMG, you did it again! Please keep using your down-home expressions on the board. It makes me smile every time.

Check out the date ..2013!!!!!! Don't waste your time.

Hi Diana...I indicated this was a 2013 thread when I restarted it :)

Diana - read the recent posts. We're not wasting our time. Everyone is aware that the post started in 2013, but the replies are current. And sometimes the old posts bring up good memories, and even new ideas.

my post was posted prior to 2023 posts, not sure why it was on here much later...of course i enjoy recent posts. I was not disrespecting any new posters. I enjoy all of you, everday.
best,
Diana
