Besøg Madame Samm, hendes blog er fantastisk!

I´m so thrilled that my Baby Jane Quilt is 

one of the four quilts in

Madame Samm's beautiful banner, 

THANKS it is a great honor!!!
  My Dear Jane quilt is the most 

important quilt I have ever sewn, 

it is my masterpiece.  

If you can you sew the Dear Jane 

quilt you can sew every quilt.

I sew the first block A1 on the 2003.8.8 

and I had no problems sewing 

until I reached A-11 “Pebble´s Protest”, 

I couldn’t see how to piece that block together.

But as we all know, 

quilters are very nice and helpful,

and a good friend told me that

it´s okay to draw extra lines in the patterns,

and generally to sew the blocks the

way that it is best for you. 

That was a very important advice, 

and the reason why I mention it here.

 I sewed most of the blocks 

in paper piecing, some are appliqued 

and D-2 “Mouse in a Mirror” is hand pieced,

at that time I didn´t like to hand piece 

so I do still remember that block 

after all these years.

I only used two fabrics, 

a muslin and a red 

prewashed! Benartex Fossil Fern.

I hand quilted the blocks individual.

and I think after that the 

blocks look as if they are alive.
   Yes, I know it sounds 

as if I´m in love with that quilt, 

and yes I am *lol*

Like Jane A. Stickler did in 1868, 

I counted all the pieces sewn into my quilt, 

I used 5689 pieces.

Facts:

First block pieced 2003.8.8 

last binding stitch 2007.6.9 

Size: 80¼ x80¼ inch.
