...About the hardest, the longest, or the most prized quilt. My Dear Jane quilt would be all of the above. Made of 169 blocks, 4 1/2" each, pieced by hand and machine, hand appliqued, and hand quilted, it took 5 years to make....plus classes, and a support group! It lives on my bed year round.

It is beautiful! Definitely the best Dear Jane quilts I've seen pictures of more recently. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteExquisite! And I think 5 years is down right speedy!
ReplyDeleteHelen it's gorgeous!! And I agree that 5 years is very impressive.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Maybe one day I will revisit mine and finish it. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteOh my...it is stunning...ugh the idea of five years....I want one. Smiles
ReplyDeleteIt certainly SHOULD stay on the bed year-round! It's worth the extra sweat (in summer) for all the sweat you must have put into it. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful piece! What patience! To me, 5 years doesn't seem too long at all.
