Hi Laquita I am doing both SBS and Dear Jane and SBS is by far the easier of the two. 6 inch blocks are very manageable and not a lot of applique. If you start at the beginning of this thread you will see everyone's blocks for inspiration, and quite a few showing their blocks all together.
As for me I am using the same background fabric, the same main fabric throughout and pulling different tone on tone fabrics for each block from my stash, and loving how it is coming together.
I hope your book arrives soon and you can join in at any time, please post pics of your blocks as you make them, we love to ooh and aah a lot.
A good idea is to finish some UFO's if you have any, as these SBS blocks can become addictive or maybe cook some frozen meals
I am falling behind at the moment but will catch up by the end of this month.
