I have not joined all of you to make a specific, organized Dear Jane quilt, but I have the book and have used numerous patterns for bed/toppers, table runners, and very recently, enough blocks (about 100) for a quilt--but in 6" redrafted blocks, not the 4.5 size. Some designs are more difficult to change over (even using metric: 6 inches is 15.7 cm) but once the number of units within each block is found, these can be copied satisfactorily. I am keeping the 6" schematics of each block, including some of these templates (including seams) for anyone else who might want to make it. This envelope of patterns will be fastened into the book. BTW, the trianges make wonderful banners for holiday themed colors (Christmas and autumn) for fireplace mantels, top of curtains or windows, table scarves. I am looking forward to seeing all of your finished quilts!! Thanks for the suggestions to QAYG then sash together in rows. I now plan to do that with the blocks just finished.
