    So beautiful - fresh and bright. I really like the format - it brings some order to DJ.

    Oh my god Lacelady I can't believe you finished it, borders, scallops and quilting! It is a beautiful piece of art. Also, I love your label! I think its a great idea to document in your label how many pieces make up the quilt. You are an inspiration!

    Lesley, Your DJ is beautiful - AND finished!!! I am jealous. I started mine in 1997 and am still working on it. I haven't always been working on it. Brought it out a couple of weeks ago and it's not going back - I'm going to finish it this time. I have about 140 or so of the blocks done , none of the border triangles. All the remaining blocks are cut out as I cut everything out back in 1997. Put each block in it's own sandwich baggie. The guys in the program marvel at the size of the blocks.

    The program is in a state prison and I have 200+ men who get paid to make 40" square quilts - perfect laprobe size. We have donated over 8000 quilts since the program began 8 1/2 years ago. I've been running it for nearly 8 years. Everything is done by hand except attaching the binding for the first step. They are allowed to use rotary cutters and scissors, but the tools all live in a locked and very secure cabinet when I'm not there. They can't get to them. This is the reason for my screen name.

    Again, your Dear Jane is awesome!!!

    Kathy
