Dear Jane

Yes, I’m making the plunge. I’m attempting to recreate that awesome 1863 Jane Stickle quilt! As I embark on this journey I’ve discovered there are few detailed instructions on a block-by-block basis. Scouring the internet has been an exercise in frustration. So I am doing it myself using Electric Quilt 8. Yes, there is Dear Jane software available if you work in the Microsoft Windows environment. Unfortunately, I’m an iMac user. And if you don’t have EQ or Dear Jane, you’re left to figure it out yourself looking at pictures of the block…a daunting task. So, I am sharing my interpretations of those blocks with a tad more guidance. My process is to write the pattern, test the pattern, adjust the pattern, and retest the pattern. As a result, I am making two quilts (insanity times two).
