::sigh:: Isn’t this quilt so beautiful? I’ve had this on my Pinterest. I’m participating in the Rainbow Charm Swap on Ellison Lane Quilts and was wondering what to do with all my rainbow-colored charm squares.
From what I understand, you pair this book with the instructions on this blog (right-hand sidebar) to make the quilt. The finished blocks are 4-1/2″. It sounds like a great scrap-buster. 225 blocks. The quilt in the above picture took almost a year and a half to make.

My wonderful husband just let me buy the book with some of his Amazon credits (I don’t think he realized what he was doing, and then he saw my little print-out…oopsy), and it sounds like a lovely (slow) project to (slowly) learn how to make some beautiful (slowly-made) blocks.
Oh my life that is possibly the most beautiful thing ever! I could never be that accurate!
Just purchased my very own Dear Jane Rainbow Quilt Kit (BOM) that someone else had bought but decided not to work on….their loss…my gain. I am just so excited and scared all at the same time.
I have this quilt on pinterest too! It is absolutely beautiful, would love to make it, look forward to seeing your blocks.
I have been eying this too. I think it will have to go on my list of things to do in my lifetime. But you’re right…. it looks like a great scrap buster and a great on-going project! Good luck.
I just dug out my book this weekend and thought about taking the plunge!! I can’t wait to give it a try and see what you’ve done too!
Oh wow. This is amazing! This would be a fab way to use those charms. Thanks for introducing me to this quilt! I am definitely looking into that book.
That is a beautiful quilt. Looks like tons of (slow) work 🙂 Good luck!
I would love to do a DJ, but I am terrified of the 4″ blocks! So lovely! Best of luck!
That is gorgeous! If you made that, it would be one of those things that would be passed down through generations. Don’t you think?
Yes! Drink the Kool-Aid! 😛 I’ve been working on mine since 2008 and am almost to the quilting stage. (I’m slow. But my excuse is that I’m doing it all by hand.) I’ve learned so much in the process. It really is such a fun project.
EPP is all by hand…right? Or am I doing it all wrong?
It sounds like an epic project. It will test your patience I am sure.
Oh, I forgot to tell you–I think this quilt is gorgeous! If you made even a doll quilt out of this pattern, I’d be blown away… 🙂 Love it!
