Some good progress & How I Make My Chart

 So now it's this far along!

P.S.  Here is how I do my quilt chart. I'm not convinced that it's the easiest way, but it's the only way I've figured out so far. 

I have the Dear Jane software. When I load the photos into my computer, I open them with the Microsoft Office Picture Manager. I crop them and then resize and rename them. The sizes and names are critical to work properly with the DJ software. 

Baby Janes = 40x40 pixels; names in the pattern mya3

Triangles = 40x60 for verticals, 60x40 for sides; names in the pattern tr3

Corners get 60x60; dunno the names yet, haven't got that far  ;D

Next, these files get moved into the right file in the program on my computer. 

The pathway is Computer > C > Program Files > Electric Quilt Company > Dear Jane > Pics > MyChart

Now start up the Dear Jane program. Click on "My Jane Journey," then "My Block Chart." The chart will pop up in a new window.

Now do a screen capture. Hold down the Fn key and push the Prt Sc key (on my keyboard above the delete key).

Open the Paint program, and click on paste. The screen shot will come up in Paint. Click on "Select" and then click on the corner of the chart. Drag with the mouse to outline the chart in the dotted line square you can make. Then click "Crop" back up at the top.  Save your quilt image and go put it on the Janiacs Unite blog.  :D
