i did toss out to colletta that maybe next board block swap could be a DJ.
the only thing that might prevent it from happening is not everyone who does the block swaps have the book or the software.

the majority of the blocks/triangles are beginner and intermediate.
only 38 blocks/triangles/corners are advanced.
188 blocks/triangles/corners are either beginner or intermediate.

Klue, would it be possible to make blocks for a swap - if we decide to do a swap - without buying the software?
There are so many DJ sites with blocks. I'm thinking that some people might want to swap, but they might not want the expense of the software.

also, people could check their library for the book and then just copy 1 or 2 blocks from the book to use for the swap.

I'm thinking a Dear Jane swap would be a good way to decide if I want to make a Dear Jane quilt. The blocks are small, but some of them still have a LOT of pieces. For a swap, we might want to just 'dip our toes in the water' and go for the simplest blocks, so that everyone puts in about the same amount of blood, sweat and tears - not to mention new words said to our innocent sewing machines LOL
