There is the original quilt, made during the Civil War by Jane A. Stickle. She made 225 blocks/triangles, each unique. A woman named Brenda Papadakis then took on the task of making a pattern for each block/triangle, writing a book, and creating software that helps folks put it together. There is a large group here working on them, and there are many on the internet. You can search "Dear Jane" on the internet and find lots of sites where folks are making their own "Baby Janes" as they have come to be called, with the "Dear Jane" being the "mother" quilt.

Here's one link: http://www.dearjane.com/
