This traditional version was a premier member of the Texas Guilds' Award Winning Traditional Quilts, non-judged exhibition. I was very impressed by the skill level demonstrated by ALL the Texas ladies in this exhibition.
I didn't even recognize "Jeepers... It's Jane!" by Beth Schillig of Columbus, OH as a daughter quilt until I read the placard. What a stunner, and so impressively innovative. Ms. Schillig really made this Jane her own. It was placed appropriately enough in the "Mixed Technique" field, where it failed to take a ribbon, but won high praise from everyone who saw it.
The colors were delightful and her technical ability was superb. There's nothing like making a Dear Jane to really hone those fine quilting skills. 8) Lovely!

WOW! It looks like a totally different quilt!
Two very different but very beautiful Dear Janes ! Thank you for taking pictures.
Wow, both are just amazing, thanks for showing them...
Beth Schillig's quilt is similar to one that won First Place at AQS in 2000 and Best in Show in Vermont in 1999.
