Qbird. a lot of ladies increased the size to 6". that would make a queen, i do believe. maybe someone else will tell us. i think the software has the directions. i did not learn all the ends and outs of the software. i had sandpat....:) 'thatquilt.com' was the place to look for help. and the software had tips also. you could pick the method you felt comfortable with. some really talented ladies acutally pieced the pieces instead of applique.
my colors will be better on the next pictures. a new camera is on my shopping list.

How wonderful. I really must get mine finish and put together. Its been a WOP for several years. I love your color theme. It is really nice and you can really enjoy the blocks.
Be sure to post as soon as you finish. We want to see the whole thing.

It is a thought, especially if I could do 6 # blocks, need some hand work to do, I machine pieced the Farmer's Wife quilt (on another thread here) but maybe would not be a Dear Jane if not the original size, the Farmer's wife was 111 6 1/2 differents blocks, for a queen, would just be another Farmer's Wife? all these dilememas lololo anyway congrats on getting your's done especially in 60 days

I'm not sure that any in our group cyber sew enlarged the blocks, but it is certainly possible to do it with the software. You can just choose your block size in the software. Lacelady did enlarge hers by making her sashing larger. That effected the placement of the tris, but worked well and she ended up with a queen size.
Really any quilt you make using the Dear Jane block designs would be considered a "Baby Jane" (the original quilt by Jane Stickle being the Mother quilt). Brenda has lots of different layouts even in her book.
