My first Dear Jane block is K-9, Scout's Honor. I'm two weeks behind our schedule because I was waiting on my background fabric. Now I have 2 bolts of lovely parchment cotton, and I'm ready to catch up!
Scout's Honor was a very easy block to begin with as it was entirely paper pieced. The bigger challenge was putting it into "My Chart" within the Dear Jane Quilt Design Software. I followed the directions on reducing the size (in my case 4% both horizontally and vertically) and pixels (40 x 40) of my block after scanning. Then the jpg must be saved within the design software, replacing the existing file with my own picture. The crux of the problem is to make sure to go into the file's properties and add permission to yourself to change the picture files! Once that was done, viola! "My Chart" is updated!
