Be sure to visit this blog . She gives wonderful step by step instructions on how to put the blocks together. In a few cases, she even re-made the paper pieced block for easier construction.

I think I will end being like you, go strong on it for a while, then set it aside for other projects, then start up again. :) I am cool with that though!!

I have been talking with all the girls that are doing it together here on the board, and they have been so helpful!! I don't think I can catch up to their schedule, but it'll still be fun to have them for support!! Anyway i wanted to share my designs and my first blocks here if you don't mind!! I am making two quilts at once, the rainbow one will be my test quilt, it will be made with muslin and scraps and will give me the chance to practice the blocks before I make my real quilt the blue and orange one. I had fun making these blocks, it is M-11. Not too too hard, I only had to unsew once!! :) The blocks aren't perfect, but I am totally okay with that LOL If you aren't familiar with Dear Jane, these blocks will finish at 4.5 inches, so the pieces are small.
Thanks for looking and reading all that!!
Cheers!

oh wow! I love the rainbow layout plan----but the blue and orange reminds me of the Broncos, and my Daddy was a Denver fan :) Both are going to be really beautiful! I hope you continue to post your progress! It will be fun to watch your quilt grow!! Good job on the squares! I have ventured that small...yet..maybe someday!
