I have experience with DJ. While I was working on DJ I learned that I do not like doing applique. My Baby Jane contains none of the applique blocks. So in fact I consider mine a partial DJ.. My daughter did this with me. It was her first ever quilt and she only does hand piecing and hand quilting. Her first quilt and she did the entire thing- all the blocks, triangles and quilting. Hers is complete, mine is a partial.

thanks, I think you are right, but I always say it's the thrill of the start more exciting than the satisfaction and sadness of the finish. I think I will put this project in my "one day" list.

I have the book. I have the rulers. I have a dream. Now I just need the motivation. :D

We could hold hands, and begin gingerly together...

i can only drool when i see the "dear Janes"--never started one b/c i know i would never finish it & that would be such a crime--they are so beautiful!
wow, i didn't think anyone could beat my UFO collection, but i think you've DONE it! LOL

I have done about 24 blocks..but they were for a Spring Fling swap on the DJ group...all PP'ed from the software...they were super easy to do...it is the "A" stuff that does not excite me!
