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!!!

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??!

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.
