I would like to join as well. I bought the Blue Jane BOM several years ago from Stitchin Heaven, but didn't start it until I took Brenda Papadakis' class at Empty Spools. She is a great teacher and very motivating. However, after the class, life went on and I haven't touched it since. I think I have a name for it, "Jane gives me the blues," since I haven't had a chance to work on her.

I do want to finish it eventually, so I may end up watching more than doing, but your inspiration and plan sounds fun. I have both the book and the software (but I need to buy a PC laptop for it).

Well, I had an old PC, but then we switched to Macs. Macs are not really compatible with the software, so still need the PC laptop. Simulator software wasn't working well with others.

Delighted we are up and running. So looking forward to being part of this wonderful group. It is great that we are all at different stages. I am like Sew4nin as regards number of blocks. Also like Geri B I increased my block size to 6". I am doing QAYG (quilt as you go)on the squares. Leaving the quilting on the triangles until the end. Am using Batics left over from other projects. The quilt by Greenfairy was what inspired me to start. Gus a big thank you for what you are doing.

Howdy partners in crime! I'm also back for more fun with all of you. I have 24 pink, chocolate and cream blocks done in CW fabrics so just a few more to do.

Gus, you are awesome! Thanks for taking the lead again. Kudos and hugs.

Hi everyone. I am new to this and so far have only the book and one partially pieced trial block done so was delighted to see this thread. Planning the fabric type and color seems a little mind boggling so am interested in hearing about how everyone chose the fabric for their project. Count me in.

Gus, thanks for hosting again. As with others, life got in the way [i've moved twice since starting ] i REALLY want to get back into the groove. thanks SO much for the info on the chart... i was so bummed that i had missed out on the original one. i think i was over-volunteering when i first got to my present home, so i'm cutting back on that. i really should dedicate one day a week as DJ day...maybe that will help.

for those that think they don't need the rulers, it will be difficult without them. that said, if you alter the border triangles size [which i did], i printed out the EQ template and had my local Ace Hardware cut me a custom one... very useful, indeed.

looking forward to the group support to keep me going

caspharm -
someone else had asked the "Mac" question early on [first 100 posts] in original DJ thread we just closed - I believe there was an answer there. I would also call or email EQ - my DH is totally a PC guy and works with mega systems but the rest of the family much prefers the Mac, so I wouldn't necessarily get a PC just for that if there's another way.

good luck - and please let us all know if something works

Nancy, Nancy -
