[DEAR] JANE STICKLE CYBER BLOCK PARTY - Jan 2010 thru May/Jun 2011
#31
I'm excited.
Thanks Klue for organizing this. You have done a wonderful job.
Elle the Asian fabrics sound great.
I have been buying fabric here and there. It's now time to take an inventory. :-)
ai731 aka Jan: I am also using batiks. I just love them. I have a neutral batik for the background.
I am going to do the blocks in around the world color placement. I may change the size of my blocks to make a queen size quilt. The software is great for this.

Wouldn't you know I am new to EQ and have misplaced my software book! I'm tearing the house apart looking for it.

i'm not a jane purist so you'll see through out the year that i'll redraft blocks to make them more user friendly - i have no problem adding or removing seams to make the blocks/triangles easier.
i think the triangle ruler is good to have but the little square ruler isn't necessary.
you might be able to make the triangle ruler yourself if your handy and have template material.

At the moment I can't afford any of the supplies either, The fabric I could probably use what I have, but no rulers or software or pattern.

you could check and see if your library has the book or you can put up a post on this forum looking to make a trade for the book/software or maybe someone has the book and will let you borrow it.
i don't have the book, i just check it out of our library when i want to look at it otherwise i would let you borrow it.

oooh I do, Klue. You're so good. I'll have to take a close look at one because the online DJ triangle rulers look pretty complicated. I've really not even checked out the actual triangles because I wasn't going to do them or do larger solid triangles of print fabric every other one and the kites....but then I saw one that had white on white triangles and I thought hmmm that would work. Thank you so much for setting this sew along up for us!!!
:D

I am not near a library, and I hope to be moving next summer (but who knows) Maybe if I try it I will get it going and done faster. if I have the right information I might be able to swing the blocks faster than that and have it done.
We will have to see what the new year brings, I know a few that are going to try,
