Dear Jane Quilt - 6 month Progress Report, Electric Quilt |
As promised here is an update on my Dear Jane journey. I am six months into it and as you can see from the Electric Quilt interpretation, the holes are steadily being filled up.

Here are all the actual Dear Jane quilt blocks which are completed, still with all the papers in them. No purple yet. None are sewn together yet, as I don't have a full row complete, but come back in the next six months and see whether I have managed to get any of it together.

Here are the statistics. The numbers show that I am only about a third of the way through ... so still a way to go. If you have been a dedicated Follower, it might feel like this has been going on a bit longer, thanks for sticking with it. An average of about 12 blocks a month, which now puts back the completion to this time next year (February 2017). I think I could do with a Dear Jane retreat.

It is fun to pull out all the blocks and remember where and when you were stitching them, which is perhaps something special about hand piecing quilts. I usually prepare the blocks for sewing in batches and it is time I spent some time at the cutting board, especially since I have a few trips coming up in the next few weeks.

And finally, here is a bit of Dear Jane inspiration. This is another photo from the Dear Jane Quilt Exhibition held in Nantes, France in April 2013. I can't believe it is nearly three years ago that it was on display. What a show! It is a reminder that everyone interprets the quilt in their own way - on this note, check out the Dear Jane cutie Susan has made. Over at That Quilt, a new Dear Jane quiltalong is starting - just if you are interested.
