Hi Marcia,
I am from the UK (shame -as I run a DJ group here - a bit too far away for you !!!)
BUT - I have visited friends who lived in Grapevine Tx and I found a lady called Barb - who a couple of years ago - was running a DJ group at "Quilters Dream" 6409 Colleyville Blvd, Colleyville, Tx 76034 ( 817 481 - 7105 )
I do not know if she is still running it - but maybe she might be able to help you, ( tell her Dot from the UK
sent you !) LOL.
I have now finished my Christmas Jane and I had the pleasure of meeting Brenda Papadakis ( who wrote the DJ book ) in Quilters Dream a few years ago - such a lovely lady.

Here is a link to my design wall - if you click on any block it will enlarge it and click on the small photo at the top - which will enlarge the finished quilt )

There is a BOM on here (Quilting Board ) but very quiet at the moment - maybe you could locate them and start them up again ! Here is a link.

And lastly, ----
This lady Anina has made a tutorial for every block, tri, corner, sashing etc. I do not know her but found her tutorials extremely help. Here is a link to her site

--- and if you scroll down the page a little - on the right hand side of the page, is a list in green ink - is a list of all the rows and blocks - click on the block you want and it will bring up the tutorial.
I hope this information might help you and I would love to hear how you get on.
Oh by the way - I recently put my DJ into the UK National Quilt Championship and won a Judges Merit rosette - I was thrilled to bits. I also put it into a local exhibition and won a "Visitor's Choice Ribbon "
The quilt took me 7 years to make - with breaks in between - so you can do it. I learnt so much making this quilt and did survive the journey !!!!!
Best wishes for making this wonderful quilt.
