I brought one UFO with me. It will likely be called Crazy Jane because I've so assessed myself for wanting to do this. When I made my Dear Jane quilt, I didn't do the traditional pattern. Instead, I added plain blocks and left off the triangles. When I was told I could not be a Dear Jane goddess unless I did all the blocks, I went to work on a plan to use them in a second quilt. My design is the top picture, and the progress is shown in the next one. Note that I laid the wide border strip of triangles close to the center in the photo, but it will need a plain border between the two, as shown in the drawing because it does not fit exactly (at least to my recall).
This project is all that I brought with me and do not expect to finish it, but at least make a few more of those complicated triangle blocks. Who knows, it might be more fun than I anticipate. One thing that I am enjoying is 70+ weather, no wind and the Barnes and Noble book store across the street! Oh, and my hubby first spied a wonderful quilt shop in Carefree and was signaling to turn before I even spotted it. He even came in and had a good look around before opening his book in front of the in-store fireplace (more heat so not needed but nice anyway).

It's gorgeous.
It looks really challenging and will be wonerful!
cool blocks. and i love your 'tall mountains' quilt to the right. well done.
'etsy' is a site much like e-bay, but it is for artists who want to sell their stuff. there is a lot of cool stuff on there. you could open an etsy shop too and put some of your quilts on there!
happy new year!!
What a great design and a wonderful way to use the Jane blocks in a different way!
This will be beautiful. I like it already. Your DH must really like to golf! :)
