I probably would have just eye-spliced the pigtail ends to the blocks permanently, and cow-hitched it to the jib clew in the middle. That would, however, require you to reeve and unreeve the jib sheets each time you rig and de-rig (not an issue for me as I do that anyway).
I have a pigtail that is tied to the jib blocks, and attachés to the jib clew the same exact way Pepin's attach to the blocks (except with a loop of line and knot on the end instead of a spliced eye...).
I leave this on the jib sheets which are always reeved and left on the cat during storage.. no need to re-reeve all your sheets every time (IMHO)...
