So here's what's so cool: it's a cheater. The whole center panel is one piece of fabric - I didn't have to do any piecing except for the border. I imported a photo of the panel into EQ6, sized it according to its actual size, then fitted that triangle border to it. I printed out the templates for the triangles, sewed a thin coping strip to two sides of the panel, and whipped up the borders. They fit perfectly. I started it on Saturday and had it quilted and ready to show at our guild meeting on Tuesday. Way cool. Maybe I'll do another one with 'boy' colors for the borders.

So if I understand, you scanned in a picture of a Dear Jane quilt, and printed the blocks. If it is all one size - just HOW BIG is your printer??? I think this could be a workshop for Tri-County!

No, Betty - the interior of the quilt is a cheater panel that I bought at Houston Int'l Quilt Festival in 2008. Not big. I took a photo of it, imported the photo into EQ6 and set it as a photo where the body of the quilt would be. Then I added borders around it in EQ. All I had to print out and then piece was the border. That was just sewn on to the cheater panel. Easy!
