For anyone who still needs to get the software, the Dear Jane website has a special for the Dear Jane and the Dear Hannah software together for $60, which includes shipping. I just ordered mine.

I'd love to join in. I have the book, rulers, and fabric already, just waiting for my software now. I've wanted to do one for years. I think I'm ready now, with your motivation to keep me going.

oh my goodness 54 pages already. Yikes. Ok I am so in on this. But I am not using the same tyoe of material that is in the Dear Jane quilt. I might make one later in those colors etc. But I am on a very limited budget and so I have to use what I have. Which is.....don't laugh now.....a zillion cat materials. Yep kitties everywhere. My idea was to make a cat quilt, which by the way I do have started and is a great UFO. But I tend to go overboard when I start something and so I have way too much cat material. So I am making a Dear Jane out of all the cat material. I was so excited to get going that I ran right out and bought the software. I got it up and running and I have already started on the first row. My squares are coming out at the right dimensions which totally amazed me that they did. I am sewing it all by hand only because the pieces are so tiny. I got up to A 11 and hit a snag. How the heck do you put that thing together. I made it but it is totally screwy. After I got it done, I realized I left out 3 pieces and the darn thing still measured correctly. Have no idea what or how I did but it really doesn't lie just right. I may keep it as I am learning so much and it is a huge learning curve to make this thing. But I probably will make a whole new one when ever the group gets to the square. I really could use the advice and help. some of the squares lend themselves to showing of the kitty cats while others, you can't tell what the material was. I am also going with a basically green/blue colors.

sorry, been busy. i have just made 2 disappearing 9 patch quilts. for chrstms. and they are made out of 9 patch(ence D9P) squares. then you cut down the center both ways. gave me a nice sashing and corner blocks. so perfect. since i Had put corner blocks in my jane on my sashings, i thought, 'wow, this would have been sooooo much easier, and made the corner blocks completely perfect". started to talk math, and sizes of inter blocks, but too busy with 2 yr old to be coherent.

don't forget about

where there is lots of help.

thank you for the schedule cr8. i printed it out and marked off all the ones that i already had done. 83 blocks done and for those of you who followed the earlier cybersew i did 2 of each one so i actually have done 166 blocks.

Back again!!! only for a moment.... :( although the surgeon thought today was a good day but that we had to go in through the ER.... The ORs were booked to excess and Steph has been rescheduled to tomorrow [guess someone thought it wasn't close enough to Christmas!]

Hope all goes really well for her Gus....

so sorry Gus. will keep you both in my prayers

I am so happy you began this journey.... I have every block, corner and triangle (pieced and plain) completed and ready for sashing and assembly my goal is to complete my Dear Jane in 2012...i believe this is what I need to get on a schedule for completion. I began my journey in 2008 and complete pieces in 2009 -- time to pick it up again. Looking forward to sharing these with everyone.
