Dear Jane Blocks
The first 2 DJ blocks I made took forever to make. I made the patterns on EQ printed out the block pattern pieces, cut out the paper pattern pieces, pinned them to fabric, cut out the fabric and then finally could sew them up. So I thought there has to be a shorter way of making some of the blocks. Sunday I found all the 9 patch blocks. Found the piece dimensions by using EQ. Rotary cut strips of the back ground fabric and used my pre cut scraps and made all the blocks that were 9 patch. It went a lot faster. My next DJ blocks will be the 4 patch blocks.

looking good! I have a DJ started with just a few blocks made, it may be a UFO forever it takes so long to make just one (comparitively)
You are a clever girl - it's going to be a lot of fun *s*
Great little blocks. Congrats on finding a more efficient way to make them :)
I am also working on a Dear Jane quilt. I print the EQ blocks on freezer paper then I just iron the pieces on to the fabric and draw around them and cut them out. I usually do a bunch at a time. Good luck with yours - the blocks look great :))
Interesting blogged I enjoyed.
