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??!

I just posted a photo of my finished Sampler and thought you might want to see it: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-147293-1.htm

Yours is stunning!

Really beautiful!!! Doing a Sylvia or Dear Jane is a great accomplishment!! Good job!! :thumbup:

Wow! It's gorgeous, and worth every minute you put into it.

Put the Dear Jane book down. Walk away, Don't look back. Pick a nice simple table runner or something you could do with your eyes closed.


By the way, I really think you should keep the name "Stupid Sylvia" for this quilt!

I've so wanted to do this quilt as a follow up to my Dear Jane but as slow as I'm going on Jane, I've deciede to live through your experience. God bless you and your quilting.

That is such a complex quilt! No wonder you need a 'simply fun' quilt to work on now. Your work is wonderful and this quilt was worth finishing :thumbup: Thanks for shareing.

'Cause you're a masochist? ;-) ;-) ;-)

The quilt is fabulous, and clearly was a lot of work. I'm a huge fan of simple, solid, wide borders - it really makes teh viewer focus in on the blocks and frames them beautifully.

What's the finished size of the blocks?
The blocks finish at 6 inches. My borders are really a dark batik, though they show as black. It is meant to have multiple borders, but I decided to skip that part, LOL.
I love your quilt. You did great! Pretty colors in the border.
