i'm not starting early but i've kinda started early.
i made a handful of blocks to make sure the fabric was working (some wasn't - had to toss them and buy more - poor me).
now i'm redrafting some applique/tricky type blocks to be paper piecing friendly.
then i'll start the actual block rotation in December - this way i can get the paper piecing order up for the people who only have the book and i can make the tutes for all the applique blocks.
i'd like to maintain a 2 week head start on the group so that i have everything ready to be put on the forum in time for you guys.

Once in a lifetime is right! lol
I've had a practice run, and it went well I think. Not sure why this doesn't look square, it must be the camera angle. I had a wee panic after I downloaded the photo, had to rush back in my sewing room and check that it was actually square! ;-)

Wow.... I was going to use a plain white fabric as the background for many of my blocks, to kind of tie them all together, but I've just seen this one....

And I might have changed my mind!

It seems like doing the Dear Jane thing is like having a baby (or a special project) - it's been done before - but when it's one's own creation it is way more special and unique than any of the others.
Brenda Papadakis calls all the other quilts inspired by the original "Baby Janes."
BP maybe got that part right.
