I don't think I can catch up to their schedule, but it'll still be fun to have them for support!! Anyway i wanted to share my designs and my first blocks here if you don't mind!! I am making two quilts at once, the rainbow one will be my test quilt, it will be made with muslin and scraps and will give me the chance to practice the blocks before I make my real quilt the blue and orange one. I had fun making these blocks, it is M-11. Not too too hard, I only had to unsew once!! :) The blocks aren't perfect, but I am totally okay with that LOL If you aren't familiar with Dear Jane, these blocks will finish at 4.5 inches, so the pieces are small.

Thanks for looking and reading all that!!
Cheers!

Hi, I am happy to say I am also making a Dear Jane. I bought the book and am hand piecing them row by row. Most I guess are paper piecing but I haven't enjoyed my paper piecing trials. I guess its not for me. Yours look beautiful. They look perfect enough to me. Here are my first 2 rows assembled. I am trying to get as close to Jane's colors as I can.
