I have been talking with all the girls that are doing it together here on the board, and they have been so helpful!! 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!

I find it so much easier to do than regular paper piecing. I omit steps 2 and 3. I just fold it when I need to. But I really like this method, it works so well for me!
There is a thread on the board where all of us are posting pics of the blocks we are making. Many of the girls are on a schedule, but many of us are not. :) This is such a huge undertaking, it’s nice to have the ladies round here for support!!
