Channeling "miniature", the block was created.
It's beginning to appear that Dearest Jane might have been quite the little devil. Some of these blocks are positively devious. I keep imagining her rocking out on her front porch in the early evening, devising yet another mathematical puzzle to create in fabric. She could have been a mathematician at a New England college, confounding everyone around her with yet another new postulate or theorem.
Bought this 1870s or so trunk for $18. It has a brass nameplate! Indicating that the owner was from Lehighton, Pa. How divine is that? Maybe when I get it fixed up (and the interior lined with acidfree paper or fabric), I will store Dear Jane in it. I mean my quilt of course.

You did a wonderful job on this wee little block ! You are far braver than I am , I have looked at the Dear Jane quilt a million times but still haven't gotten up the guts to give it a shot LOL :) I love the trunk , it was such an awesome find.
I can't believe you got your trunk for only 18 dollars! Bargain! I'd love to tackle the Dear Jane - I've just got so many other projects on the go. Maybe I should just add one more??!!!
What a bargain on the trunk! It looks like a wonderful storage place.
Do you suppose Jane knew that all these years later we would be struggling with her devious delicious work? The trunk is a grand find!
Love the trunk! And the nameplate! You don't kid me with those complaints about the tricky DJ blocks--I know you relish it!
