That quilt is so beautiful and so much work, that you put into it. I really need to just make things and not worry about how big they are, but enjoy the process and I might actually get a large quilt done;)
Fantastic job!! You deserve a medal for just finishing it. It would have been a UFO long ago if it was mine. What a finish--you should be proud beyond words.
It's Tremendous! Stupendous! I can barely wrap my head around how much work this was and how beautiful it is. I want to go to Sisters again just to see this quilt!
Congratulations, Lori -- on your amazing quilt and 500 posts!
This is a really exciting moment. I am so thrilled for you and honored to be here in this moment. There's nothing like a big huge celebratory parade to make a quilter feel extra joyful. Gorgeous spirit you have Lori, gorgeous quilt. You're reflected here. Gosh, I'm just so thrilled for you.
Lori, your Dear Jane is simply fabulous! You must be so proud and excited to have it finished. You've inspired those of us who are still working on ours. 500 posts is quite an accomplishment too! Congrats on that huge milestone!
WooHoo!! You need to change your blog name while this is your header photo. This is anything but a humble quilt! : ) Just gorgeous, Lori. What an accomplishment!! Oh, now I want to go to Sisters even more than before (and I wanted to pretty badly before!).
This is indeed an heirloom, and you have to be thrilled to have it finished, quilted, and ready to show the world. It's fabulous, Lori! Any plans for another version, or is the plan one and done?
I am excited for you to finally have accomplished a goal and adventure that you set out on a long time ago. I was going to ask if you quilted each block differently but I can see in the close-ups that you have quilted what suits each one. Do you have plans for another big adventure in quilting?
Instead of drumroll, it's more like-------strike up the band, raise the flag, or 50 gun salute. Your quilt is beautiful, a real heirloom. Sisters Quilt Show, was there once-------so many beautiful quilts.
Congratulations! I wish I was able to see it in person, but the Sisters show is not in my budget this year. You can be very proud of yourself for an awesome finish. Kudos!
Oh my!!! You are now officially a Dear Jane quilt "GODDESS"!!!! Congratulations on such a wonderful achievement, Lori your quilt is just gorgeous!!!! You must be over the moon!!! Thankyou for sharing some close-up shots too, so nice to see it in detail.
TRULY AN AMAZING QUILT. CONGRATULATIONS ON AN AMAZING FINISH. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING IT UP CLOSE. :) I LOVE SEEING SO MANY DIFFERENT FABRICS IN ONE QUILT.

Oh Lori, it is amazing! Congrats to you for finishing such an amazing quilt. I still want to see pictures of it every now and then! I never tire of looking at this gorgeous work of art.
Congratulations! Your Dear Jane is gorgeous and what a wonderful heirloom you have created. Great job! I am envious, but now I want to get working on my DJ too!
Lori, Congratulations on making a Dear Jane quilt. You should consider yourself a Master Quilter from now on because of this achievement. But more than a great sense of accomplishment, I know that you had great fun and enjoyed the process, following in Jane Stickle's footsteps.
WOW! I will look for it at Sisters, I'm sure it will be one of the most photographed quilts there. What a quilting achievement, I hope this is going on your bed!
Lori I want to take your photograph with your beautiful quilt at Sisters! I congratulate you on such an amazing quilt and yes, what an heirloom! Do you just sit and stare at it in wonder? I would be!! Think of all the minutes and hours and thoughts and time that it holds. I get very emotional about these things! Quilts have their own soul. xoxo Pam
Congratualtions on completing a beautiful heirloom! Thank you for sharing it - I'm sure it will be a hit at the show. Just curious - will you use it at home or will it be put away?
Fantastic! What a great accomplishment. I hope you enjoyed revisiting all these terrific prints as you did the hand quilting. What a treasure you have!
Lori, it looks wonderful! I feel almost like a part of it as you began that when we first met each other online. I was blown away you were tackling something so intensive, but have come to know it is so YOU! Way to go girl! Kat

Of all the accomplishments you have had in your entire life, I suspect this is one of the most amazing and satisfying!! Congratulations on a wonderfully beautiful quilt!!
What an accomplishment! It is beautiful. I have made about 50 blocks but am doubting that I can ever finish... something always pushes ahead. Very inspiring to see your 'Baby Jane'. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations! It takes a lot of determination to finish that quilt...it is on my "quilt bucket list" but is a daunting project. I wasn't sure from the picture, but it looks like it was hand-quilted...amazing....
