If you look closely at my tri, you will notice that I didn't add the narrow strips of background to the edges of mine. I reasoned that with that strip sewn to matching background tris, my RS1 would look smaller, so I extended the lines of the design and did it that way. If you are intending to use coloured inbetween tris, then the 'frame' of the background will look good Just another thing to think about.

I have done several tris this way, after I realised what would happen with my tris matching my background.

I can't imagine that any of you will have problems with C3 or A5, being the hardened Janiacs that you are now. J8 has four little melons in the corners that will need applique, but even those should be relatively easy by now.

There is quite a bit of scope this week for those of you using three colours too.

Thanks for the heads up Lesley. Looks beautiful as usual!

Lesley, sorry but the one you have posted as I8 is not I8. you just sent me into overdrive LOL

Its usually me that gets it wrong.

anyway I will post mine

Elle

Lookin' good ladies! I see I am getting behind the "over achievers" group. I love the blocks though. I'll have to pull my list and make sure on the block #'s...I'm confused now without looking at the list. :lol:

Oooops, sorry folks, I made a boo boo. Because I crossed off my schedule as I did each block, I misread I8 for J8. This week 30 should actually have I8, not the one I have pictured.

Elle's block is the correct one. I can't redo my pic easily, as I have the quilt assembled now, so please forgive me

Well done Elle, yours look lovely, as usual.

Thanks and you are forgiven for giving me a heart attack LOL

Well...thank goodness you recovered Elle!! Lesley...we will certainly forgive you! :lol:

Lovely blocks Lesley & Elle!!! :)

Week 30

all the blocks are beautiful ladies

Gorgeous colours Janstar, that is going to be a beautiful quilt.

Elle

:-D :-D :-D :thumbup:

beautiful,gorgous,magnificent,extraordinary, and all the other adjectives. lol

You mean fantaBULOUSSSSS !!!! lol

Elle

BTW IF like me you were working from the very first schedule Klue gave us then there were as fas as I am aware just two typos and she made out a new schedule. Its on Page 180 of the original DJ thread.

Its very minor it occurs in august 2nd and August 23rd on the old schedule where Klue had RS2 twice.

It now reads TR12 and RS2 respectively

Hope that help you all.

Elle

Jan, those are beautiful blocks...I like the tri this week too. It looks pretty simple..well..comparitively speaking of course...:grin:

Ditto, Jan, lovely blocks.

Lesley,
How far behind would I be if I asked to join since this is all new to me? Could you tell me the sizes of the blocks and what size the final quilt will be? How many blocks are you making? It really looks like fun especially when there are so many doing it together and supporting one another.
What a great group everyone!!!!!!!!!!!

You can join in anytime you want, we have several who have just started. Some have started on week 25 and these go really quickly as they are slightly easier to start with. You can work backward then and still be in the frame so to speak.
There is a Schedule of how many blocks to make per week On the original thread called Dear Jane Cyber Sew page 180 is the correct schedule (first had a couple of glitches) average its 4 or 5 blocks and we have a week off every 6 weeks so you can do catch up then as well.
We currently have posted week 30 but don´t let that put you off as some of us are over achieving on this one.

There are over 200 blocks and the finished size is 4 1/2" so you make a 5" block. Best plan is to buy the CD as all the blocks, sizes, different arrangement of blocks are there. Hope that helps

Sorry Lesley I answered for you as you are not around yet.

Elle

Yes, you should join in. I am joining. I am waiting on my CD. Then I will start on the week they are on and work with them and catch up on the others as I can. It will be a lot of fun. And so much help here if you have questions.

Thank you Elle, I have only just switched on today (7pm), have been busy sewing!

Yes...sure, do join us new2quilting...we'd love to have more to play in our little group!

What beautiful blocks! Gosh, are we up to week 30 already? :shock:

Not really Tiffany some of us are a little ahead of the original plan. I am trying to stay on top of it as I am going on holiday and I know I will get behind then so I am just a couple of weeks in front I think not much.

Week 30

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Sorry they look so big, I edited the pic so you would not see my feet!!!

absolutely beautiful

Meredith, lovely blocks again. Love your dotty fabric

Elle

Those are great blocks. I love the one on the bottom right.

Thanks everyone!

Those tiny dots are actually tiny stars... :)

Hi, if you are quilting this as you go, are you quilting thru the background and how are you going to put the blocks together, my girlfriend and I are both working on dear jane, it is addicting, we love it thanks for the info and all the great pictures jean

Meredith...another great set!!! And whats wrong with your feet???? (mine are usually wet- from putting them in my mouth too often, but yours???):lol: :lol:

I'm in the middle of embroidering some stuff and hate to take the module off the machine to start this weeks until I'm finished...so I bet I will be officially late... :roll:

Yippee!!! I'm officially still on time this week!! Here they are

Those are very well done. I love your triangle block.

beautiful

Good going Patti, these are lovely, this quilt is going to be gorgeous.

Patti, those are gorgeous. What we could do with seeing is all of them together from everybody, to get a sense of how your colour schemes look.

beautiful Patti

Thanks everyone!

I agree Lace....I love seeing the group shots of all the blocks. I think that when we finish this 6 wk. period...we should do another "group" shot of all of them. I laid all of mine out on top of the sashing fabric when I bought it and I have to say...I got really excited about moving forward! :lol:
