Dear Jane Journal

I work best with a plan. I do not want this project to linger on and on.

I am setting a goal of 13 months. That will be one row and 4 triangles

each month. It does not really sound that bad, right?. Please remind

 me I said this when I start to fall behind. Here are a few of

 the things I have gathered to make things go a little smoother. 

1. I spiral bound my Dear Jane book. It makes it easier to 

work with and do copying if necessary.

2. Pins with flat heads, necessary for paper piecing 

and the box is so cute.

3. Carol Doak's Foundation Paper for printing blocks.

4. A presentation notebook to organize monthly patterns.

5. Dear Jane square and triangle rulers ( not pictured )

I will some of these items in the shop and online soon. 

I have the Dear Jane software from the Electric Quilt Company.

I will be using this to print rotary instruction and foundation patterns.

If you do not have this you can refer to thatquilt for tips 

on block construction or measure them out yourself. 

I will not be offering block construction tips here. My goal is

to get all those unfinished quilts out of the boxes in your closets

 and to keep you motivated whatever your goal is.

I will check in every Tuesday with my weekly progress

 and would love to here how you are doing.

Of course I will be using the traditional Dear Jane colors and layout.

I am starting with A-1 and working my way along in order.

This week I went a little crazy.

 13 blocks - Row 1 complete 

I will also be posting each block individually when they are

 completed on Instagram so you can follow along there too.
Set a goal and lets get busy.
