yes, thats the basic idea. some people have started to play a little now because it is a very challenging quilt and a number of people have never made a jane block before.
we will start officially in Jan and the block list says what blocks to do for each week.
i'll be putting up the paper piecing order (for people who only have the book) and the harder blocks will have tutes showing how i put them together.
many other people, aside from myself, will be putting up tutes also since there are so many ways for putting these blocks together.
my strong skill is in paper piecing and i'll be redrafting as many blocks as i can to fit into this style.
other people in the group are masters of applique and they have already started to put together tutes covering those blocks.
so i think its going to be a very well rounded group with many block construction options that will assist the beginner all the way to the advanced quilter.
the tutes will be set up each week in that section of the forum, then we'll have a section for the pictures of the blocks in the picture section, and finally we'll have a general DJ chat thread in the swap section of the forum.
