and I plan on starting a Dear Jane quilt too.[/QUOTE]
ME TOO!! I've been planning my DJ since September. Then I saw this and fell in love with it too. Then I talked my sister into doing "It Takes Two" AND Deb's "Churn Dash" swap. And now I'm starting to panic... Any advice?

Concerning removing the paper, I don't think there will be any bias edges, since the corner blocks are all cut right angled with straight edges on the outside. I removed paper when all those center seams come together and then when the eight parts come together as a block, I remove all the paper. Hope there won't be trouble later, but I would rather deal with bias than removing all the paper at once.

Well, I"ve spent the bettrer part of the last hour catching up on all the postings. I hadn't 'subscribed' to the thread and was far behind in reading and 'gawking' at all the fantastic stars. My Alaska is still on the machine. I'm half way finished and hope to have it done before tomorrow. DH and I are going on a bird watching trip to Hiwassee to look for the hooded crane that has made Tennessee it's part time home (they're usually found in Asia, not North America), so need to work hard today and finish. Keep up the the great work ladies - they're all fabulous.

All I can say is join the crowd, don't stress, and just plod along. You can do it. How would you ever decide which to give up?

It is gusting to 45 mph outside with snow. So I'm staying in my cozy home and looking out every now and then. We are not supposed to get any accumulation to speak of with this storm. The cold and wind are more than enough to suit me.
