Your blocks are beautiful Kendra. Did you get your fabric as a block of the month or did you do your own selection. I started with bom but I kept finding errors in their patterns so I have done it on my own since about the second month. I just try to keep in the same color hue as Brenda did in her book. I use the software to print the patterns and then I use "That Quilt" for instructions. I seem to understand her instructions better than Brenda. I am determined to finish mine by next year. I have so many ufo's that I want to get done, I feel I have to keep striving for the finish line. If I can be of any help, just send me a message.

Thank you. Yes I did the happy dance. Now only 125 to go and I will really do the happy dance.

I was just reading but I'm just getting interested in this quilt. Mainly because I'm taking a class where we design the blocks in EQ7 and then using 5D pro we digitize it for embroidery.

As far as the MAC goes, depending on where you are at you can go to the Apple store and they can set up a windows enviroment to run window based programs on. I've seen it done and there also has been post on here about it. Good luck to all of you.

Thank you Kmeyer. I am not doing BOM but ordered some fabric online and picked up some at local quilt shops. My biggest find was at a second hand store. I was lucky enough to get a big garbage bag full of fabric it took two of us to get it out of the store. When I got home and started to emptying it and bring it all inside ( could not wait until husband came home to help carry in the larger bag.I found a few smaller bags with labels on them. One was reproduction prints Happy Happy Happy.Wen I counted I was lucky and there was 89 different prints. Most are small pieces but that is fine and will work well for a Dear Jane. There was also enough diamonds and binding cut and some sew together for a small quilt. I am going to add a few more rows and put it on my old 3/4 bed. Here is pictures of my find. If anyone sees prints that are not reproduction from the 1800's let me know. I think I did really well for my $5 plus all the other fabric.

Can someone tell me what I am now doing wrong to get two sets of photos? Sorry about that.

Kendra, Did you preview you post? I noticed several people had the same problem today. Maybe there is something going on in the board's system today. Mine did not duplicate when I did my post so I can't say for sure. You had a wonderful find for $5. I could not be so lucky. Mine are all from LQS's and they cost alot more than $5 for certain. I noticed in your second hand bundle, there were numerous blues. I am a little disappointed the DJ does not have alot of blue in it. You have some great prints to choose from.

Kmeyer I did preview and the 2nd one did not show up in the preview. Would you like some blues? They are small pieces but work for Jane blocks. I wish I could find more yellows.
