i did try to make the schedule that the summer months and holiday months are super easy blocks and then the winter and fall are the more complex blocks.

in the summer months people should be able to complete the weeks worth of blocks in 2-3 hours tops.

thanks for the compliments on the color layout - right now i think 3-4 people are doing the same red/white/blue diagonal color placement.

i know for sure its going to be triplets!

I gave false info, there are/were a couple cheaper, one in particular because they offer free shipping. This is what I call leaping before I look.

Debbi17 here on this board posted a thread recently that she could get it for $39 - I asked her to get it for me, plus the rulers, which she did - the killer for me was the shipping because I live in Ireland, but it's my Christmas present to me, so I am worth it!

Ouch Leslie! I know shipping can be horribly expensive.

Ireland...land of my forefathers. Someday my daughter and I are going to take a trip there. I usually don't travel because of all my allergies but we both want to go. If we actually do make it, I'll send you a PM and maybe we can meet up somewhere. I think it would be such fun to meet some of the great people on this Forum!

I've now got 2 gals who are going to do this with me locally. I'm very excited! Although I still need to tell them it's going to be more than a block a week. Silly mistake on my part. :oops:

Klue, is the schedule on the first page? When I joined there were already 42 pages so I sort of skipped over the majority of them. If there's anything vital in there, could you point me to it please? Thank you!!!

the schedule is on the first page of this thread - its the very first post.

i'll be posting the schedule again when we do the official kickoff, if you just want to wait until then to get it.

It is wonderful to have so many people working on the DJ at the same time!

i agree, we have 65 people in the project so far.

My goodness, can you imagine how much wonderful energy will be floating around out there amongst us for this project??? It's going to be amazing. I can't wait to take my DJ fabrics out of the drawer they've been hiding in and start playing! I don't think I can get started early, but I might try. Despite the fact that I've had the software for some time, I still don't know how to work it very well. I wish I could have a friend just show me...I hate doing tutes as I'm rarely in the mood (for software demo stuff, not quilting tutes).

I still haven't decided what my pattern will be, but it's unlikely I will do a trip around the world. I do want to be careful about fabric placement, lights, darks, mediums, etc., but will probably work on that as it goes.

Thank you for the Soft Expressions idea... I've got that bookmarked now, so next week when I get paid, I'm ordering!! I want a couple of weeks to play with it before it's GO time! :D

I don't know if this will help... but for myself I went thru most of the pages and copied and pasted the more important info into a word doc - here is the document and I may have missed things
