    Not sure what you are unhappy about ? Looks good to me :lol:

    But I understand your frustration. I cut out all the fabric for my "basic" 9 patch, started sewing them together and they were a hair under 5 :oops: ... UGH my 1/4 was off.. so off to the fabric store to rebuy the fabric , this time I cut the pieces a hair bigger and now they are at 5 1/4 so i will cut them down to the 5. :lol:

    i think it looks great.

    isn't it amazing how long one Jane Block takes. this is why it takes over a year to make 1 Dear Jane Quilt.

    I think the other problem is that this is such a special quilt we all want our blocks to be perfect 8)

    i agree completely, there's something about doing a Jane Block that changes how you do things.
