Default When Jane Was Blue->An Old Dear Jane

This is my interpretation of Dear Jane. I made it in 2005/6 when I first started quilting. It helped me learn all the techniques of quilting and introduced me to friends who were attempting the same. I was an avid embroiderer and every other block is an embroidered "shadow". The back has a quilt design too. and it was a quilt as you go. All these things my quilt friends thought were weird (now much more common) but I was too dumb to know what was a standard quilting technique, and what was "weird". I named her, "When Jane Was Blue" . I've won many ribbons for her. I just listed her on the Dear Jane Thread today but thought many forum members might not see here buried down in all those posts Enjoy:

I bought the dear Jane book and will be starting it up soon. I can't wait to start and love reading and seeing all other dear Jane quilts. Yours is beautiful and love the colors and the uniqueness. WOW. I hope mine comes out half as nice as this one. Do you have any tips?
