DottyD....most of the words have already been said....but WOW....thank you so much for sharing this photo and for the encouragement it gives those of us who want to do a DJ and just have not started yet.
I have 5 grand-daughters....and once i have my hand surgery and can hand stitch again, i have this dream of doing each block x 5 so that i can give them each a DJ when they graduate or marry - or whatever - when they are older. The oldest is 14, the youngest 8 months....so i think i might be able to manage it if i get busy.
THANK YOU for sharing your wonderful work of art.

What a stunning quilt! You should be so proud of it! This one is on my bucket list -- I think I have 4 blocks done. I've figured out the seams need to be pressed open as the pieces are so small. I think for me this is a learn as you go process. Please tell us what fabric you used -- batiks, regular cotton, scraps from your stash. Did you learn any tricks that you would be willing to share to make it easier for the rest of us? You inspire me!
