i hope you join in. i'm going to try and make some of the more challenging blocks easier to put together.
i'm big on paper piecing since the pieces are so tiny it helps with the precision.
the plus side to the jane quilt is its very hand sewing friendly, since thats how she put it together, so i'm sure as we get going some of the really tough blocks i'll just hand piece.
the software is nice because it can print out all the patterns for the block and it has many variations on the blocks.
you could certainly use the book and trace off the patterns.
i will be putting up the paper piecing order for the blocks for the people who use the book.
