hello there 'jates', i enjoyed reading this! you sound like you had 'fun'? with joy, blood, sweat and tears along the way! a real learning curve huh?

i really can't wait to start mine... i ordered my cream 'kona' fabric a few weeks ago from the USA, it should be here very soon... then i can play little!!

i'm doing mine as a 'trip around the world' with cream background and batiks... i'm actually wondering if i should have got a white background! mmmm...

if anyone wants to swap 10yards of cream for white 'kona', let me know! lol...

So I now have A,B, and C done and random others. I'm thinking about trying the QAYG method. I have also come to the conclusion that a Dear Jane quilt isn't about what you know starting out...but what you learn as you go! Noone should be afraid to make this quilt- each block is an opportunity to learn something new. I've done hand applique curved seems and Y seems- and I'm getting better at each as I go along- it's not so scary anymore! I'll post some samples of my "lessons learned" for a good laugh! gotta get to work! Happy sewing!
