Klue,
OMG! That is a stunning DJ. I visited a quilt guild this week that had Brenda Papadakis as their guest speaker. She drafted all of the DJ squares from photos and a "white gloved" hands on the original at a museum. Surprisingly, she has never made the whole quilt. She does possess a beautiful one that consist of all the rejected blocks from her workshops. They were presented to her in a finished quilt. There were several DJ quilts at the meeting. One lady had made six using a variety of the blocks, two were on point with wide sashing. The point was, you don't have to make them all, but it seems to be addictive for some.

First off, a member showed a DJ that she had made that day. I was ready to walk out, these ladies were waaaay out of my league. It turned out to be a cheater cloth (user friendly). She had pieced the triangles for the border in solids and finished the quilt. I was still impressed.

Again, the black and bright DJ that ya'll made is breath taking.
