Totally awesome!! I have to keep many projects going at once because I get bored easily. I worked on my Jacobean applique about 7 years with a lot of projects in between including Dear Jane. I didn't get past 6 blocks before starting something else. I am in envy of anyone who can start and finish a project before starting something new!

Fabulous, breathtaking, beautiful and so many more adjectives to explain the beauty and hard work that has gone into this quilt!! Congratulations for sticking to it and I'd say you have a masterpiece!!!

OMG I am doing this quilt right now for dd33. She is getting married in October. I double the size of the blocks. It is a very challenging quilt. Your looks great!!! I hope mine looks half as good.

I've regretted that decision regularly, since I am a one-at-a-time quilter. That's why it earned its name, as many times in the last year I've said I would love to work on (whatever new project attracted me) except that "I have to finish that Stupid Sylvia quilt".

But finally I can call it DONE and move on to something smaller, easier, and a lot more fun. So why am I even glancing at the Dear Jane book??!

Absolutely Gorgeous!!!! I look at it and I see a pinwheel I would be capable of doing, and a 9 patch, and maybe a couple more. That would take ME a lifetime. Congrats :!: :thumbup:

Anna...
I've read all her books and love them...
I have the pattern and have often thought about tackling it, but remember in the book it took several quilter to do it.

I still have the book but not a quilt...

You've done a great and beautiful job. Love it.

Not me! My very own fabric diet is not going so well. But then, neither is my other diet.
