Planning my Dear Jane

Dear Jane Quilt
I have been playing with my new Dear Jane software



Reading the instruction Manual over and over.
One day it will click, I hope!

A bit of playing later




Ahh . . . .  this is more my style.

Now how do I print the patterns?




It took me a while but the first three rows of  block patterns are printed
and color coded.  Now to find some fabrics and think about tackling those tiny pieces.

Hugs, Sharon

    Well done for your progress to date. I got the book and software for Christmas but haven't done much yet. I have got some fabrics for the colours but am looking for a suitable background fabric. Good luck with your journey. Sue

    That software looks wonderful. A very modern approach to quilting. What would Dear Jane think?

    I purchased the Dear Jane software a while back but haven't even opened the package. I use Electric Quilt so I don't think I will have any problems using it. Enjoy your journey.

    Woohoo~!! Yeah - I ended up writing a bunch of notes to myself in my front cover regarding printing how-to's and sizes, etc. Hmm. . . somewhere I wrote up how I go about getting my chart made of the images of my finished blocks, too . . . where is that? I'll be back. ;D

    Ah. Here it is: http://janiacsunite.blogspot.com/search/label/Ways%20to%20do%20a%20chart

    (I'm going to need that to re-figure out how to do it since it's been such a long break in my Jane work)

    If you find an easier way, I'd love to know. :D

    It takes time...but you can do it. I didnt go in order...I did all the blocks that can be paper pieced first. Still have more to do. Hmmm. I will pull it out and get one done this week!! Also, FYI...Batiks dont like to be appliqued...trust me. That is why I stopped. I chose batiks to make mine out of..and it doesnt needle turn very well. I have to fight it. Hugs

    Wow that looks great. I have been into the computer with the software, but haven't gotten very far. I need to figure out how to print the patterns as well!

    Glad to see I am not the only one doing a Rainbow Jane! I have blocks printed out and fabric ready to cut. Hopefully I can start this weekend. Can't wait to see your blocks as they come along.

    Just started my Dear Jane too..You are just going to have to start making some blocks and see where it takes you..there is no other way!
    You'll see it is actually quite addictive once you've started. The feeling you get when you complete one of those little blocks is quite amazing..and makes you want to do another.
    I'm using the book for the patterns but have considered getting the software too...
