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