For some unknown reason, I let my friends talk me into joining a Dear Jane club. I really need to have my head examined. The up side is that I don't really need to buy fabric as I have a ton of Civil War prints and 8 yards of aged muslin. Plus I get to spend time with good quilting friends who always bring something good to snack on.

Good for you! It's on my bucket list. I may just start now and do a block whenever I get bored with other stuff. I've got tons of beige on beige tonals to use along with other "scraps".

I started a Dear Jane several months ago and am up to 2.5 blocks. :-) I may finish it in this lifetime, then again maybe someone else will inherit all the CW fabric and bolt of muslin I have. But it's fun to be on the DJ mailing list and hear about everyone's successes with the quilt. And then there's your fun of being with friends. I think that's why mine is going so slowly, no one to quilt with on it.

I bought Dear Jane and downloaded into my computer. Why do I spend so much on things I will never get around to doing?
Just bought a used copy of Slyvias Wedding Quilt because the blocks are 6 in not 4 but found it requires lots of paper piecing even on blocks that would be simple to piece.
I do not like paper piecing at all, waste of fabric and paper. Some blocks have to be paper pieced but why ones that dont need it?

go for it!!! I am having a hard time sticking to it -- so many other things to do -- I will have to cut out the pieces and sew in the evenings.
I have 2 quilts I am hand quilting right now so things get put on the back burner and take turns -- LOL
