Hi K3N - did you see the gals were talking about doing a swap around xmas time - that might be fun and involve less work that a full DJ. Also, you could do whatever you wanted in the "quilt-along" (is there another name for that type of group quilting?) - just do the blocks we are doing that particular week to put into whatever you decide to go with. The DJ book has photos of some beautiful DJ's that only have a limited number of blocks in them, and they are stunning!! It sure would be nice to have you along for the project!! I plan to work on other things at the same time, and will consider the DJ my slow, lifetime project. I may even put some thought into hand quilting it, slowly....
