Thread: Finished my second Dear Jane top!

I have both of those books and the Nearly Insane book and the Just Plain Nuts :) I think I want something totally different though for right now - I might design something myself - who knows - next is to finish up a few things I am close to finishing.

382 hours for the second Dear Jane - I started it 2 years and 8 months ago. I would have finished it faster but I was working on I don't know how many other projects and finish quite a few others in that time period.

It's beautiful. I give you a standing ovation for making not only 1 but 2!!

I'm not familiar with "Affairs of the Heart" I would have to see it.

Your quilt is beautiful and truly a labor of love.

Yes I have recieved my book for the Affairs of the Heart. I have to buy the black background and may add a few more batiks to my stash before we start. Gosh got to get back and get that DJ done.

Fabulous, And this is the second one. WOW !!! Whats Next?

I just looked up Affairs of the Heart - it sounded familiar and as soon as I saw the photo I remembered it. I am more than half way done with a Red and Green Traditional applique that I will be concentrating on and also one called "Little Brown Bird" of which I decided I do not like most of the blocks. I have two blocks done and decided I will use these blocks but design a totally different quilt using those two blocks in it - it will no longer be Little Brown Bird - it is too fussy for my taste after all. I think I will be doing a lot of applique this year while trying to get caught up on my hand quilting - I will have 3 large quilts waiting in line to be quilted soon.

Beautiful

What an awesome quilt! Looks like a lot of hours and a lot of patience required!!

wow -- very impressive

Oh MY! That is a beautiful quilt! I am working on mine, and I WILL finish it, sometime!
I am not sure I will tackle another, but then I may. After the first one, the second will be known, at least!

Absolutely stunning!!!! I think I would go crazy just making one, and this is your second....Beautiful job!!!!

Awesome! This will certainly be a family treasure. You should enter
in Quilt Shows.

Oh my Gosh ! You did something I have wanted to do since I saw my first one at a Quilt Show. It is beautiful ! I admire your tenacity !

Stunning & Lovely!!! I love the simplicity and striking effect of two colors. :thumbup:

I am getting close to the finish line on my first Jane, four corners to go and sewing the rows and triangles together this month. :lol:

OMG,look at the work in that! Amazing! I love it.

Simply beautiful! Good job too...I can't imagine making one; much less two.

Spectacular is the word and patience personified for the handmade/handquilted. Spectacular and thank you so much for sharing. Love it.
