ok this one is better

holy moly!!!! the colors look totally different :shock:
I was expecting a purple quilt :idea:

they are both beautiful! I wouldn't know how to pic the squares I want to make. Having the same issues with AOTH - not sure I want to make all the squares, but then again, how do you decide??

I also like the dear Hannah - seems to be more applique in them. Has anyone ever mixed the two? [DJ & DH]

I will begin a new DJ soon.

thank you

I love that Dear Me quilt...the border is just wild!

i still have my blue/white too as well as my tris. still have not decided what to do with them either.

Cre8 - I was pondering the same thing - to do or not to do all of the squares. How do I choose? Let me count the ways - eeny, meeny, miney, mo. Oh, heck - just do 'em all! :-)

I only have 1 DJ in me, just like I only have 1 AOTH. I very rarely do a pattern more than once. Made the exception a couple of times with some of the more elaborate Mariner's Compasses I do. The most recernt one was a duplicate center, but in Christmas colors of the q
