This blog is about my Dear Jane journey.
I was introduced to Dear Jane when visiting the Dalgety Show on the 8th of March 2009. Upon entering the hall to look at the quilt display, I found the most exquisite quilt hanging on the wall. I don't know who made it but knew that something like this was what I'd been looking to do for a future quilting project. At the time I didn't know she was a Dear Jane replica...she just intrigued me.
I could not contemplate the work involved to finish the quilt. Each block was different. Each block was so small. I had been wanting to do a quilt with a collection of different blocks, so that I could learn different quilting techniques. I had found it!
Here is a photo of the Dear Jane quilt displayed at the show. Quilter unknown.

It was only a couple of days later that I found out that the quilt was a Dear Jane replica. Dear Jane is a quilt made by Jane A Stickle in 1863. There are 225 blocks in the quilt, each block being of a 4.5 x 4.5 inch finished size.
