Man it is awesome Meredith!! Mine is going to have different backgrounds so was so excited to see yours and the way it looked. I was getting worried because all the DJs I had been seeing had the cream type background like the cover on the book. Well, I certainly wasn't going to start over....lol...after about 30+ blocks finished the scrappy way :oops: Thanks so much for posting the pic and making my day!

Elizabeth...you have 30 blocks already done??? :shock:...you GO GIRL! Mine is a dark background and scrappy too...so when do we get to see some of your blocks??

Blinky

I had posted some blocks on this site a while back...will have to take some more pics and post! DJ has been put on hold for about a week...some dang other things got in my way :roll: And will be going out of town next week...poor DJ... :-(

Thank you Blinky, I used one fabric line (Kansas Winter from Kansas Troubles) and some plain ivory, but I have a block from Janstar and two blocks with Sandpat's fabrics! I think the black sashing (also a Kansas Winter black) was the "glue" for the quilt! I considered a scrappy Jane, they are lovely and very interesting!

Please layout your 30+ blocks, take a pic and share!!! We love pictures. :lol:

i have one set of DJ's that are totally scrappy, then i have another set that is predominately reds and blues.

Ok Meredith, here yah go! I didn't know I had so many done until I drug them out!!! I counted 83 plus one tri block that I just finished a couple of weeks ago. There are about 10 though that I would love to do over. Pretty bad....some of my first and they are fairly easy ones so it won't be too bad. I took two pics one for one side and the other pic for the other side. It was hard to get them all on one pic using my cell phone :lol: And you can see them better this way I think. I have a pieced quilt on my design wall right now that just needs a little time to get it finished and off the wall. Then I will start putting the DJ blocks on it. It's going to have to be put on hold though because I will be going out of town next week. I will be bringing some knitting with me that I need to finish up before the baby outgrows it! :oops: I LOVE fabrics like Kansas Troubles! I guess that is what attracted me to your quilt. Love civil war and primitive type fabrics. I need to find a color to do the small borders around the blocks in. Can't remember if you did yours in brown or black. I love the colors you used for the insert triangles. I am hoping my blocks will still look ok with your tri colors. Maybe I need to start doing the rest of the blocks in more of the colors you used. Ok...you got me thinking! :idea:
