4) click on "view" along the top of the screen

5) click on "sketchbook"

6) click on the "blocks" tab if the blocks aren't already displaying.

7) scroll thru the blocks and find "I9" and click on "edit"

8) click on "file" at the top of the screen

9) click on "print"

10) click on "foundation pattern"

11) click on "options" towards the top of the print screen that just opened up.

12) click on "mirror" towards to right side of the print screen.

13) click on "preview" center bottom of the print screen.

14) a window will open up with all the pattern pieces. you can move them if you don't like the location they are in

15) to move a pattern piece. click on "move" then click on the pattern piece. the seam line will turn red and now you can move it where ever you like

16) once you're happy with pattern placement click on the "print" button.


the only block this week that needs to be mirrored is I9. so make sure to check mirror when printing and the other make sure its not checked.
Thank you Lugo

One question. Can I email a pattern? (to myself because my printer is at the office)

Wow... this crept up on me! I need to get my fabric washed tonight so I can work on it this weekend. I'm so excited to do this once in a lifetime quilt.

yes, but you have to install this free software first. its the printer interface that will appear as a printer option in the Dear Jane Software once you install it.

it will read something like doPDF as a print option when you click on the down arrow next to properties.

a PDF file will open on your computer instead of printing the pattern. just save the file with the name and email it.

here's the link to the free software download

I just finished one block tonight. If I do 4 of these a week I'm not going to be able to do much else at all. :? How long is this going to take again? :lol:

Well... I guess I can work on getting the dozen quilt tops from 2009 sent off to be quilted. It will take time to get them ready and then do the bindings. This can be a finishing year and I want to do a few more elaborate quilts.

when you first start the jane blocks its kinda slow but after a few you develop a rhythm and most won't take that long.

i find the best way to deal with the blocks is to do an hour or so a night.

The first couple i did I thought the same thing... oh my goodness I'll never be able to fit anything else in!

But klue is right, after the first couple they get quicker. I prefer to do mine all in one hit, although some may take more than one night to complete. But you definitely get a rhythm going.

I'll see how it goes tomorrow and I'll try to get the other 3 done. It took time tonight to wash/dry/starch/iron the fabric and get the foundations printed too.

Are we posting pictures of the finished blocks?

yes, i put up a thread in the pic section for the finished photos.

you have to post pics of the finished blocks every week to be entered into the fabric give away.

at the end of every work period, i'll throw the names of the people who posted all their photos into a hat and DH will pick one out.

they will receive some hand dyed and painted fabrics that i make.

Wow! I didn't know that (must have missed it). That is really great for you to do for everyone. :-D

What is the end of each work period? Sorry if I am asking questions that have been answered. I haven't been looking at all the messages in the last month with other stuff going on.
