I too have been caught up in the world wide adoration of this masterpiece. I have made about 15 blocks so far and it is something that I do not intend to finish for a very very long time. I have a basket that I put all my reproduction fabric pieces in and every now and then I will make a couple of blocks. The hardest part has been deciding which one to do next.
I have a little A5 folder that I keep them all in (in order) with photocopies of each block, templates for piecing and then the finished block. I am using all different methods, some pieced by machine, others by hand, some paper or foundation pieced. I love it when I finish one of these little treasures, especially ones that have lots of little pieces like the red one above. I feel a great deal of satisfaction and constantly marvel at Jane A Stickle - how clever she was and so ahead of her time.

ooooh, these are looking so gorgeous. Well done, they look a tad small for me! so good on you!!!
Sue-Anne, those blocks are just stunning. I bet you are just loving making them. It is going to be a fantastic quilt. Enjoy. Kind regards, Anita.
WOW I'm impressed with that. I dont think I would ever tackle that project. Yours is turning out soooo pretty. Keep going!!
great idea with the binder too.

Hi Sue-Anne,
I'm glad I'm not the only one who plans to work on her "Jane" over a span of many years. Your organization is much better than mine though. I'm just plopping the completed blocks (all 9 of them) in a plastic box for storage. Your, I forget the name, but the one with just the big appliqued pointed X on it, is sooooo much better than mine. I reverse appliqued it (first time ever) and was so relieved that it was done that I glossed over its MANY imperfections.
Happy stitching,
Susan
