Hi granny_59.....if you go back a few pages on this tread you will see a few of my DJ blocks I posted . You will see I didn`t use plain color background....I think it looks awesome....don`t you think? I will be using all light colors and the background fabric is a light beige with a subtle design on it. I think it works? Would love to see your blocks...Always looking for inspiration!

All this delicate corners and lines might mingle if you use for both a printed fabric. Did you ever had a perfect sewn corner and in that exact corner a dominate part of the print and steping back it looked distorted!? AAAARRGGGG..... the limitation of my english skills (we should comunicate more QuiltE)............do you know what I want to say??
So why not thinking of plain color fabric for the blocks or even better: prove me wrong!!
QuiltE: I fully understand your feelings. You want to make the DJ DIFFERENT. I had that idea too before I started. But I think the DJ is like Swiss chocolate: you cant make it any better. lol.
