Awwww Tiff, I sure wish you could join this year. I have all the stuff, but I have to make a decision on background fabric and get that. I know what kind of taste I have....always champagne....this time I need for it to be beer :roll:

I am lucky to have a QS about an hour away that specializes in CW repro fabrics.
i don't think hand piecing is crazy for some of the blocks it might be the easiest way to make them.

I say that but then I did make my grandson a quilt for his bed. What can I say, I'm grandma and it's my perogative! :lol:
I must admit this is one pattern that I find a bit intimidating. I think doing it as a group is a great idea!

the triangle ruler can actually be made from quilters template materials.
i can put up the measurements on the triangle for people who would like to do that.
the real thing you need is either the software, my 1st choice because its easy to print out the patterns, or the book - which has the line drawings of the blocks and you just have to trace them.
so you would be looking at about $40 or so for the software and $20 or so if you went for the book instead to save money.
if you'd really like to be a part of the cyber block party let me know and we can do a shout out to see if someone on the forum has a book to lend you or something like that.

Cathy, Thanks for the great web sites for the DJ blocks and triangles. I hope Klue can do more of them in PP than she did. Welcome to the DJ Cyber Party!!

we will start officially in Jan and the block list says what blocks to do for each week.
i'll be putting up the paper piecing order (for people who only have the book) and the harder blocks will have tutes showing how i put them together.
many other people, aside from myself, will be putting up tutes also since there are so many ways for putting these blocks together.
my strong skill is in paper piecing and i'll be redrafting as many blocks as i can to fit into this style.
other people in the group are masters of applique and they have already started to put together tutes covering those blocks.
so i think its going to be a very well rounded group with many block construction options that will assist the beginner all the way to the advanced quilter.
the tutes will be set up each week in that section of the forum, then we'll have a section for the pictures of the blocks in the picture section, and finally we'll have a general DJ chat thread in the swap section of the forum.
