Looking great.....Isn't it funny how white always makes things stand out and look so crisp. Can't wait to see more of these squares.
|
Lovely
|
lovely blocks. they look so crisp. i am doing some of the applique blocks first.
|
Beautiful job - good for you!
|
Terrific blocks! You do really nice work! :)
|
Great job getting started. I got my material purchased but have not started yet. Not sure when now.
I too would love to see your progress. |
Those are beautiful!! Can someone tell me about this project?
TIA |
those are really pretty! I don't think I'd ever make one because I can't stand tiny pieces, but the quilts are lovely! post them all, we don't care!

Thanks for all the lovely comments, everyone! Maybe I will just add more pictures to this post as I go, so that I don't overload the board, lol. These took a lot of time to make, but they are a lot of fun! And, yes, super tiny- the inner star on the yellow block is the same size as a quarter! Jane was crazy, I think. ;)
(Correction- I said A9 was 45 pieces, that's what it would have been if I'd followed the pattern in the book, but that would have meant sewing two pieces of the same fabric together to make the big triangles. I just made them out of one piece, instead, so- 41 pieces.) |
Holy smokes those are tiny! So precise! :)
The journey of a thousand miles - you're on your way. :) |
Is the Dear Jane software stand alone? Or do I need Electric Quilt too?
TIA |

QM-- Oh, I think it's going to be a while. Though I'm the sort of person who could easily allow myself to get sucked right in and immerse myself in making these fun little blocks 24/7 (my grandmother compared making them to eating salted peanuts :) ), I've got too much else going on to let myself. If I do a block/triangle a week, I think that puts me on what?, a 4 year and 4 month plan... plus handquilting... yikes! It'll be a while, I guess! lol :shock: ...Well, I'm two blocks closer to my goal, anyway! ;) (I don't think I mentioned- these blocks took me 4 1/2 and 4 hours to make. I'm sure they could take less time for someone using a different method but this is how I know to do it. These are also some of the advanced blocks- I'm sure when I get through the advanced blocks and start working on the intermediate and beginner level blocks, they'll take less time- maybe I'll be able to get a little ahead of schedule then!) |
Hi - WOW well done, especially G6 - not an easy block !! I love doing my DJ and have chosen Christmas Fabric - See my link below if you'd care to see my design wall !

I figured I'd start with the hardest blocks and get them out of the way first... I've seen that blog, really great info. |
I am staying with my Daughter in Law when we go to the Houston quilt festival. We are planning to start Dear Jane. Yours looks great.
|
Love the bright colors you are using! Can't wait to see the finished quilt!
|
I'm impressed that you started with that star. I remember her well. :)
Keep posting pix. Many people love Jane. |
Kristin,
This might help you set up your design wall. Your Baby Jane on the Virtual Design Wall This would be the place to start in achieving your own design wall. http://www.smastbrook.net/dj/djvdw.htm This gives you the starting point in putting your own wall on your computer or uploading it to your web space given to you by your provider. Regards DottyD |
wonderful ! good luck with the rest! Great start!!
