Call Me Crazy

 Seeing Nicole's finished Dear Jane made me sad. Sad because
I stopped short on mine and did not do the whole thing. I like
to call it Dear Jan - not quite Dear Jane. What to do?
 The only sensible thing to do is make it again, right? So today I
brought home 15 yards of Kona Natural with the crazy notion
to start making those 4-1/2" blocks again. My original quilt does
 not include the triangle border but this time it will.
Call me crazy but here I go again. I will keep you posted.
 Do you want to Dear Jane along with me?
Thank you for sharing your beautiful quilt Nicole.
How can anyone resist!

  3. I want to do this along with you! I have pinned several color choices on pinterest and have a desire to do a pink and red version. I need to order a book!

  4. YES, You have stepped onto the Crazy Train. Enjoy the ride. I'll just watch! 4" blocks are just TOO tiny for me and the Triangle- I wouldn't do them, just saying.

  11. Maybe if I'm in a quilt-along, I'll finish my Dear Jane. I was in a club and then we moved. My fabric just sits crying out to be touched. Please organize a quilt-along. We can help each other.

  15. I was this quilt at the Bennington, VT Museum last fall and fell in love! That whole Vermont in the fall trip was the best of my life, so what better way to memorialize it? I'm going to Dear Jane along with you!

  20. I'd love to make this... For retirement! I'd probably use up the rest of my life doing it:)

  21. I would love to join you after having collected a lovely selection of Turkey Red, Americana Blue & various shirtings with blue & red prints. This I feel would tie together our two countries. Red, White & Blue.

    get me going!

    Happy Sewing

  23. I started mine a few weeks ago, drafting them myself on paper. Just ordered the software program to make things easier. I am using 30s repo fabric.
