I was doing a little cleaning today and came across 25 Dear Jane blocks that I got in a swap several years ago. These are very well made blocks in reproduction fabrics and it just seems a crying shame to leave them in a zip log bag in the bottom of my drawer. So I would like to liberate them to a good home to someone who would like to make a small quilt from them or possibly even use them to start your own Dear Jane Quilt! Three of these are ones I made and the remainder were made by Janiacs all over the USA. I am ashamed to say I have lost the list of who all made the blocks, but I sure would love to see someone do something with them. If you would like to have these blocks, please leave a comment on this blog. I will select a lucky winner on August 15. Tell your friends and lets see how many "Janiacs" I can find out there in blogland.Good luck!

Ohhhhh I love these blocks. Dear Jane has a way of getting to a person - and the fabrics are my favorite.
And you blog is wonderful - I've been keeping up with it for some time now. Thanks for the inspiration - and for the chance at winning some darling blocks.

I'll never in Time have the talent to make those blocks, but I promise to give them a good home!
Please put my name in for the fantastic blocks. I will make a quilt from them. It would make a small quilt. I would be very proud to be the owner. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I'm in NPNT's with you. I haven't started stitching yet but getting ready!

Me, me ,me!! LOL..oh that sounds so bad but I have started a DJ quilt...many, many moons ago...I call it my lifetime achievement quilt as it is going to take at least that long to make it, but this would give me a nice boost.
Thanks

Please add my name to the drawing for the 30s blocks. I was in a few swaps for 30s DJ blocks. Maybe this will give me enough for a good sized quilt.
I would love those adorable blocks. Please add my name to the list. thanks
Hi there. I am just getting into reading blogs & I found yours. Awesome! I would like to put my name in for winning these blocks. I would use them to start a lap quilt that my guild makes for the local "Kid's with Cancer" group. I think that these would be a very cheerful start.
hugs, Debbie
I love dear Jane quilts, but I am a new quilter and am not yet brave enough to try to make one yet.
Wow! I would love to make a small quilt out of those great blocks!
Thanks!

I would love to be considered for the Dear Jane blocks. I have a couple others I could add to it and make a very nice quilt! Thanks for the fun!
I'd love to own those wonderful DJ blocks - what a great tale that quilt would tell on its label - blocks from overseas and blocks from Australia. Please count me in!
Kind regards - Dawn
Those are beautiful. And fascinating to find out more of the background (found my way here through a friend's blog). I'd love to make a wee quilt out of those :)
Ohhh, pretty! I would be thrilled to win those darling little pretties! I would use each block as a center of a pastel 9 patch - just don't have the time to make a full blown DJ right now!!! Came to your blog via patchworktimes.
Cheers!

Ohmigosh, what a treasure! Please count me in the drawing. I actually got to see the original quilt in a museum in Bennington, Vermont last fall and was just overwhelmed. I have the book and definitely want to make it!!!
How sweet of you to offer these blocks to us "janiacs"! How fortunate for some sweet baby janer! They look wonderful! Hope that I can return the favor someday to someone else, even if I don't get drawn! To give is to truly recieve! Quilted Blessings! Kari
Once again you are a-maze-za-zing. What a great offer. Thanks for visiting my blog. It meant a lot. Have a great day!
ooh I would love to have them. I have seen alternate settings of fewer blocks and would love to try them out.
I have just come upon your Blog and of course with quilting being the common thread here I have bookmarked you. I too started a Dear Jane a couple of years ago and did complete 13 of the blocks. I keep moving that project to the top of my to do stack..funny how that happens. I will finish it because I have seen so many wonderful Dear Janes completed.

I have though about starting a DJ maybe this would be the start I need.
That would be a great start for a small quilt! I like the blocks and with a beautiful border it would look perfect! Please add me to the draw!
I just found your blog and it is lovely!
They are lovely! I can see them now, made into a lovely lap quilt for an elderly lady I know, to use when she sits in Church (and other places!)
