Plan on enjoying your journey. Do not get in a hurry. I did the one block and one triangle a week... this kept me going. I did this from the Dear Jane site.... It was fun. the bow and tow was posted Sunday night (as I remember) and you reported by Saturday if you completed them. With your software you can copy your completed blocks and triangles and keep them on your computer. I also counted the pieces I plan to include this on the corner block. You are lucky to have the new fabrics to start with. I did follow the color placement. Oh, now I must confess.... I and 225 blocks, 52 triangles and 4 corners neatly in containers with the name and piece count along with the copy of the block. I am now retired and plan to begin cutting the sashing, curved pieces for triangles and alternate triangles. I began my journey February 2, 2008 and finished piecing March 8, 2009. I plan to hand quilt when she is put together. Oh, I also used Kona natural for my background. Enjoy your journey :D

PS I forgot to say that I used a different fabric for every blocks, triangle and corner. I was in swaps for fat eights and that sure helped with aquiring lots of fabrics...these swaps were on the Dear Jane site.
