The Advent of Christmas Day 7: Christmas with Dear Jane

As our celebration of Christmas continues, here is another sparkling quilt! The Dear Jane® blocks alternate with hourglass blocks made of paisley and ivory prints, creating a jewel-like setting.

There are 39 different Dear Jane® blocks in this lap-size quilt.  Christine Taylor says, "This quilt is made from blocks I received in an exchange of Christmas themed 'Dear Jane' blocks.  I love them all."

Since the paisley print has all the colors of the quilt, it unifies the composition.  We enjoyed seeing the Christmas-themed fabrics which were used for the blocks, including the candy cane stripes shown above.  You can also see the pretty quilting by Suzi Dillinger in the photo below.

  2. Those blocks are well coordinated considering they were part of a swap. Nice use of them!
