Just letting you know that I will definately be joining this.
I did have some doubts until I tried one of the blocks.
I tried out the M8 as to me it looked the most difficult of the 3 first block Klue starts out with. I thought I was going to have loads of problems but it turned out really good. It also gave me an idea of what the Asian fabrics were going to look like and I put them with a white background which worked really well.

Well as per request here is my first effort. It was intimidating to start with hae to say.

Made a mistake it was I 9 that I tried. Also tried the triangle but it really is wonky and will need another try I am sure

I would love to see your block Elle. I did an A1 just to see and it turned out backwards for some reason and I'm sure that reason was me! I'll post if you like, althought it's way down the list.

Elle, good for you jumping right in. :thumbup: Like the background, too.

Someone who'd done several said I absolutely HAD to use muslin or at the very least cream. So glad to see there are others using white, not that I ever make layout decisions by quilt police coercion :lol:

Retro-Who ever told you that you had to use muslin or cream must not have looked at the many DJ quilts posted on the web from all over. There are many, many beautiful DJ quilts out there and the backgrounds are as different as the quilters. Do what you love, forget someone else's rules!

I think the only important consideration is the contrast between your fabrics so that all of the little pieces don't get lost in a mush of color.

Thanks, I need to go back to the machine and make another triangle cos thats way squiffy. However it was a learning process and I have to jump in, just to see if I could really do them. The PP patterns on the Dear Jane Software are fantastic.

A really big thank you for this organising. I once started my Dj en made a few blocks but what I started I want to finish so thats why I'm in.

I do have the DJ book and the software, but I prefer to work with the book.

Enniehow, It's really great that you do this! :D
