wow,your quilt is absolutely stunning. so pretty in just 2 colors

Jane, l would love to see the back too...

yes...go one block at a time and enjoy the process of each and every block. Make them OVERSIZED so you can trim them to PERFECT squares. (I hand quilted each block before assembly, so this was essential ). I made a plastic sheet binder and "filed" each square as it was made, and skipped around & did the blocks that called my name first. Sometimes I did an easy one just to gain confidence and feel accomplished, Remember there is no correct way to make a block. Do it the way you know (freezer paper applique), or the way you want to learn, (needle turn applique). Above all, have fun.

Now that is very striking

I really like your blue interpretation. I would give it a ribbon if I were a judge. It's one of the prettiest I have ever seen.

Wow, impressive quilt and I like your idea to embroider shadow blocks. Would love to see the back. I'm curious to know how you broke it down to do quilt as you go...

Now that is some "eye candy".

In general, I am not particularly fond of the Dear Jane genre. Yours, however, I simply love. Your thin spiral outlining really makes the whole thing more defined and crisp. Thanks for sharing it.

My dear Jane has been abandoned for some time but today I actually has a plan to start on it again with another quilter who also filed her away...

You did a great job.
