Diabolical Jane QAL

Several of our members are keeping busy with our Diabolical Jane Quiltalong , organized by Phyliss Jaffe. Diabolical Jane is a quilt pattern based on a 200 year-old quilt our members spotted at the DAR Museum several years ago. Jessie Aller then created a tutorial , with a warning -- the piecing is simple, but the fabric choices are diabolical! -- and named it for Jane Chick, who is certainly not diabolical!

May was my month and I asked for purple or aqua wonky stars with low volume background. Although they have not been sewn together, they have been up on my design wall for a while and I have been admiring them, playing with layout and asking myself if I want to add in low volume blocks for negative space. Still thinking... June was Anna G's month and she asked for modern birch blocks. She was right on it and not only made the top, but also quilted it. I just know that the recipient must have been thrilled with it...how could they not be? This picture is from her blog Life Sew Crafty where you will find more info about this quilt. Dutchman's puzzle, green and gold or purple and gold was Becky's choice for July. Here she is with one of the blocks. Alyson didn't want blocks for August, but rather 72 inch strips in specific col
