Such as number of aqua fabrics, reds, yellows, greens, purples, etc to make secondary diamond show up in your finished product. I suggest graph paper or EQ. or you can use the 'design wall' created by Sharon Mastbrook found here... http://www.smastbrook.net/dj/djvdw.htm

Phew!
I just finished reading all 69 pages!
I am jumping in on this one with all of you. I think I can....I think I can.....
Not much time to get my fabric together but I already have the book and software. DH loaded it on my laptop so that is set.
I would love to complete a DJ in my lifetime. Bucket list things, you know
Love all the pictures and inspiration!
Now to figure out what fabrics to use.......

After you quilt the blocks, you will trim it to the size you need...depending on how large you want your sashing.
