Raffle quilt: Broadway Jane

Image from Empire Quilters

I visited the Empire Quilters website this morning and was totally blown away by their 2009 Raffle Quilt, shown here with permission. If all raffle quilts were this amazing the world would be a better place in terms of donations and aesthetics.

The New York based guild describes this quilt as their interpretation of the Dear Jane quilt made by Jane A. Stickle in 1863. They explained that Jane was made famous by living author Brenda Manges Papadakis in her book Dear Jane: The Two Hundred Twenty-Five Patterns from the 1863 Jane A. Stickle Quilt. You can visit Brenda online at Dear Jane to learn more about her as an author.

Fans of the Dear Jane quilt are making their own, called Baby Jane quilts. Check out a Baby Jane quilt along at That Quilt blog that started in January 2009. So far, followers have made 112 of the 225 blocks needed. Go here to see instructions. Hopefully these instructions will be archived.
