Absolutely Stunningly Beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So fresh and clean and feminine and calm and and and and ..........

As for MrGranny59 ... I think that "nice" comment means he was speechless at the beauty before him! (that'd be you and DJ in 2nd place! :D (and you can tell him I said that! :)

As for pressing at 2am ... silly woman ... you scare me that you might have burned the blocks.

And did I read that correctly? that evey block has a different print fabric? WOW?
My goodness .... how did you get all the colour coordinated fabrics??
Was the white all the same fabric?

It's just so spectacular ... knowing you, it won't be long til you continue on and get it all sewn together.
I'm sure you can't wait to see it totally finished.
(and to get another "nice" from DH! :D)

This is one of the prettiest Dear Janes I have ever seen. I love the pastels and softness of it. Can't wait to see it finished! Thank you for sharing.

Dear QuiltE

Thank you so much..........especially for the good laugh!! I was not ironing the blocks at 2 a.m. I ironed Mr Granny`s shirts!!! lol My household is a complete mess. But even at the radio they tell the people to stay away from physical work whenever possible at this heat!? :-) We had again 35 degrees today and it does not feel much cooler at 10p.m.

I bought a whole bolt of the white fabric and lots and lots of 1930`s fabrics, also on this board. At the time I started with the DJ I stopped buying new fabric and after a while DH was asking very concerned whether I had lost my credit card! :-)
And he definately was not in awe, neither of me nor the blocks................he simply doesnt have a clue!! I might have to show him all of your kind responses.
