Here's my entry into the Internet Quilt Show. It's my interpretation of "Dear Jane," a quilt made by Jane A. Stickle during the Civil War.
My quilt is called "Into the New Millennium." I started it in 1999 and finished it in 2001. It was the last quilt I could quilt by hand and my favorite. The blocks are 4 1/2" finished size. There are a few blocks in mine that are not in the original, I inserted a bow tie block for my grandpa and a basket for grandma.

I am so impressed by everyone who actually finishes a Dear Jane quilt, - and by hand no less. Congratulations :-)
I love it! It always excites me to see a completed one. It gives me motivation to keep plugging along on mine. Thanks!

I stopped in the shop a bit ago...I'm guessing you were having a pieceful day :-) Hope it was fun!
Wow, what an undertaking! I admire you gals that make the "Dear Jane" quilts. Thanks for sharing it.
What an amazing quilt. I have done a few DJ blocks and am in awe of anyone who finishes one! What and accomplishment.
You Dear Jane quilters are awesome.

I'd be dead before I could finish it...Lovely quilt.
I agree that it is wonderful to see a finished Dear Jane quilt. Yours is certainly something to be proud of. I like the name you gave it.
Fabulous!
