This magnificent quilt, which appears to accurately reproduce the complete, original Dear Jane in lovely shades of red, clearly deserves high praise to the maker. Congratulations Ms. Strohm on your wonderful achievement! Here is a Slideshow of just this Dear Jane, showing much of its fabulous detail and lovely hand-quilting.

Beautiful!!!! Thanks for sharing this.
An elegantly beautiful creation! Really love the black border and the hand quilting showing on it (all of it!) Wonder if she would have gotten the blue if she had used blues? Would love to see the judge's explanation.
Thanks for sharing,
What a beautiful, stunning piece !!
Pointsettias in the Snow by Janice Bentley of Dallas beat out Jane in the Open Division - Senior group. It was spectacular too. The best in show was won by a purple Little Brown Bird quilt - just beautiful. I took TONS of pictures; I'll be posting them later this week.
