My local quilt shop is having a class for DJ but it is for hand sewing.
I have never done hand sewing so am leary of signing up. It is cheap at 40 dollars for the whole series of classes.

yes, you wouldn't use the quilt. i don't know anyone who has made a jane and actually uses it to sleep with - its too much work to make.

Hey Sharon, here is the reply from the ebay seller. I think I'm going to get her bundle!

HI:
The fabrics in the 200 fat 16th packets are by
Marcus (Rothermel), Peter Pan, Moda, FabriQuilt, SSI, Kona Bay etc.
All are from quality Companies,
I had a fabric shop for many years, these are from the late 1990s-early 2000s, When ?Poison Greens? and ? Double Pinks? were popular
This fabric has not been available for several years and my supply is limited
Thank you for your interest.

Hey, everyone, I know where you can get poison green, cheddar, and dbl pink. The shop is called Grandma;s Attic; put a dot com and you have her website. She specializes in repros from 19th century. Also, www.reproductionfacrics.com- will get you even more. Lotsa luck!! YTQ

It's kind of fun to have a little "take-along" project for those hurry up and wait situations.

I think it would be worth taking the class. Jinny Beyer said she hand pieces almost all of her quilts while traveling (before 9/11 anyway)

Hand sewing is SEWWWWW fun! and it's addicting, too. I love doing my Jane that way. go for it; you can always change to machine if you don't like it.

for some of the blocks, I think it's easier to hand sew them
