does anyone have the Electric Quilt Dear Jane Software?
do you like it? have you used it to help make a DJ?
i just got the DJ book from the library and i'm very underwhelmed by the content.
the book is more like a Day Journal with line drawings - no content on assembly, design, etc.

The software has hints on making the blocks. and Klue you are correct a lot of the blocks can be paper pieced. The book is good for reference, but the software makes it easier to make each block. I can't imagine making a DJ with out the software.

thats what i'm thinking too.
i going to pick some of the line drawings from the book and paper piece them to see how that goes.
lucky for me i'm not a novice to paper piecing because the book doesn't help you in any way with a numbering ordering of the fabric pieces.

to all
i'm not trying to bash the book its just nothing like i expected.
if you like reading blogs you'd like the book - its basically the author blog in a book. its a daily journal covering what ever chatter she wants to talk about and she addresses each entry to Jane.
i was looking for a book that would help me make a DJ quilt and i was just surprised that there isn't one on the market.
