I just found this Dear Jane thread,on Christmas. A bit late, admittedly, but I have been bitten by the Jane bug after reading the first 43 pages of this thread. I ordered the software and rulers and will shop for material after I get the software and have some time to plan my color scheme...background, rainbow?or?not...etc. I might be a weekor two behind you all, but I will just start wherever you are when I begin sewing blocks...
