after a bit more research on the web, I have found that EQ offers a software for Dear Jane that will make those templates, and offers the option of changing the size of the blocks. I am thinking of buying that, but maybe thru Amazon.com, price seems a bit cheaper there, and then will plan to make those blocks at either 6 or 8", maybe incorporate both and add sashing to the smaller (6") to make the same size as the larger(8")...will order the software first though, as I really cannot see myself making all those templates by hand!!!!!!!!that does not look like something that would soothe my soul!!!!! I will also search for a group to see what they are doing. I also have the Farmer's Wife Sampler book and the FW Pony Club book.......don't ask my why...I think I am getting obsessive/compulsive!!!!
