You have some great blocks done already. Too nice to leave as a PhD!
If you don't want to get back at it, at least take what you have and make a small quilt.

Great musings as you worked away ... the technical aspects, Jane's life and ways, and your own life today!

I hadn't looked at this link til just now.

Interesting ... The photos look like they are copied from the Papadakis book of 1996. The patterns look pretty much a match Papadakis' CD. Not sure when it was put out.
hhhhhmmmmmmmmmm

I started a Dear Jane quilt years ago, got stalled and gave up - I realized I stalled because I didn't choose well for my fabrics and I didn't really like the blocks.
Gave up on that one, and in 2021, started all over again - new background and batiks for the feature fabrics. I am really enjoying the process now, and have the first 6 rows of blocks completed as well as a few others - ok, I admit, I "cherry-picked" out many of the applique blocks because I was afraid to delve in to the paper piecing....
I bit the bullet and plunged in finally, and I love paper piecing... I use the patterns from Susan Gatewood - she is a wonder!
