You have truly inspired me especially with the Dear Jane quilt. I have had the pattern for a long time and just keep looking at it!
When do you have your quilt show each year? If I am in the area (when I visit a friend in NY are) we will come.

Below is a link for when the top was first completed. There are close ups of the fabric used.

It shows the colors much truer. The show was held in the middle school gym and the lighting was simply awful. Very difficult to shop for fabric and get a true read on the color. But I didn't let a little issue like that stop me from buying :thumbup:
Here is a link that Greenfairy posted right after she finished quilting it for me. This has closeups too.

It isn't a judged show, only peoples choice and vendors choice. I didn't win but that is fine. I love seeing my quilt hanging up in the show and chatting with other people about it. I also love going to the show and seeing all the other beautiful quilts and getting lots of good ideas.

I hope to be down there around that time next year. If I make it (Lord Willing) I will ask for you.
This show is actually in Bennington Vermont. It is always mid September in conjunction with the Bennington carshow. Usually the real Dear Jane quilt is on display at the Bennington Museum at the same time.
