Design Wall Monday 7/8/13

I AM DONE!!! Finally...I have my Dear Jane top completed.  Is it perfect? Nope far from it but that is ok. I learned a lot and maybe one day I will make another one. Just not anytime soon.

I started this top May 2011 and I put the last rows together last night. Talk about a quilt hanging around. I worked on it every month, 10 blocks each month.
I couldn't find a good place to lay the whole thing down. Of course Zeus had to see what was going on as well.

If I do another one it will be black and white only (I think).
 
 
The only thing I have to do now is my Sylvia's (and that is only 5 blocks a month). Maybe once Camp Loopy is over I will be able to crack out some quilts and get my stash report started.
 
 
For more ideas head on over to Judy's.

  1. Wow -- gorgeous. I can't imagine working on those small blocks -- the SBS are small enough. Can't wait to see your SBS.

  3. Kudos to you for seeing it through! What a treasure! Get that baby basted and start quilting it ASAP...don't let that beautiful top get folded up and put away.

    1. I know I should but maybe a little break. Still don't know how I want to quilt it.

  4. What a great quilt. I love the colors you used. I gave away my first blocks and need to get one started with fabric I love.

    1. Im thinking of doing one with just black and white Kona. I can tell you I am not so in love with pink and brown right now.

    1. I think I am also crazy for wanting to start another one as well. Since I moaned and groaned through the last year of this one. Maybe I will start with all of the more difficult blocks next time so that at the end I will only have easy ones....hmm that's a thought.

  6. just gorgeous, and is there a quilt that is every perfect? I think you have a wonderful quilt with beautiful colors. I have been looking at my DJ book today but I am so bad at applique. I think I am going to do something with just pieced blocks.

    1. Ironically I never appliqued before starting this. I think I have made an improvement from when I began but you can tell on some of these blocks. I can say that applique is not my favorite thing to do but I don't mind it that much. I did hand applique all of the blocks so of course I did get better as time went on.
