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
HA..got you beat..I have the book, first edition, rulers, software, AND 425 fabrics...all in a tote since 1999! OH and a full bolt of ecology cloth for the background!
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!

I don't mind the actual sewing of the "A" stuff so much as the preparation of the "A" stuff. ;-)
