I posted as a new topic as I couldn't find my answer here.
Dear Jane is a trademarked name by Brenda Papakatis, a quilter from Indiana who developed a book from the blocks on a quit in the Bennington Vt Historical Museum.
The quilt was made in the mid 1880's by Jane Stickle who was a quiltmaker in the the southern Vermont area.
I believe her grave is in Bennington. It is an amazing work of miniature blocks which no two are alike. There is a large cult followin of thoe making the quilt with retreats and other activities. The quilt has been made as a reproduction quilt and with more modern fabrics. You can get the book, templates and EQ7 for the pattern.
There is a web site which is very active.
