Skeat,
Can you post some of your Dear Jane blocks so I can look at them//
Sorry bebe that it's been awhile for me to get back to this...I am still figuring out where in space my pics go when I load them:))Be nice! these blocks are how I learned to quilt...no kidding. These are my for real first quilting anything blocks:))No one told me which way to start and as you can see, I never do anything the easy way. This is most of them...and, they are tucked away in a basket..maybe someday I will get back to them:))Skeat

Those blocks look good to me. I cannot believe you were a beginner when u started them. Sometimes it is better to not know what ur doing because ur not intimidated. Great Job!! Continue to work on them they look good.

Okay so far all the Dear Jane blocks I've seen so far look GREAT. I just got my book and OH BOY I don't know about this it just might be a coffee table book. :wink: Well, not really I know I need to get the software (don't feel like drafting out the blocks) and get my backing I was think muslin but thinking of going with fabric instead (to lazy to wash) since I have a harder time with soft fabric.

Just start with the simple blocks like the 9 patch and so on even thought u do not have CD. Do some of the abpique blocks but rember to cut ur background piece al leat 5 1/2 inches to give yoiu room to work on and and possible rqaveling of fab. If u are going to use muslin I suggest you buy a yard of quality and purchase at a quilt shop. A yard will go a long while. I know that Dear jane is a year(s) adventure and sometimes muslin stains yellows and such. Just my suggestions. Come play with us and make ur Dear Jane with us. If u need help PM me and we can exchange information.
According to Brenda Papdakis she has a saying that goes like this "done is better than perfect".
