For those of you looking for applique help...I just found this thread on the board. It contains 2 links to a technique called "back basting". It looks like it will work vey well for the small JS blocks. Just thought I'd share.

There's a retreat we're going to in March, see here if anyone else wants to join: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-34159-4.htm We'll be able to do DJ blocks together at retreat. Life is good! :D
I'm going to start on my DJ blocks tomorrow. I have the software loaded and a slightly cleaned sewing room. I've been chicken to start because it looks so overwhelming, but I'm devoting tomorrow to JUST DO IT! :lol: at myself!

I've only just picked up the thread today because it hasn't been coming through again, i was thinking about doing the quilt as you do method for my quilt, although I've never tried it before it seems that it would be manageable for my FM arms and back. Other thought is - should I be saving blank triangles from my scraps for the border pieces, so far they are just stuck in a box? Ideas would be appreciated.
Klue - great news about DH, both of my uncles have had colon cancer and it is a cruel illness. So go on nagging him, you are doing a good job!
My drama of the week is that we have run out of ink in the printer and haven't had any cash to get a new one for several days. It is driving me absolutely nuts and DH keeps asking me why I am not sewing tonight! grrrrrr! you have to laugh don't you :)

Sorry about your lack of printer ink - I thought my printer had died yesterday, but found the problem this morning, and heaved a sigh of relief.

I'm saving whatever is left over from the FQ or piece of fabric to make my blank triangles. I thought it would look cool.
What certificates are you talking about? Have I missed something? I ordered the DJ book to use as my journal so am waiting for that. I'm keeping track of the pieces as I go on each block.
