Thank you for allowing me to join this blog. I started my DJ about 7 years ago as a BOM in civil war repros, after I had made 60 blocks I decided that I did not want my quilt to be the same as everyone else; I finished those blocks into a lap quilt and put the BOM fabrics into my stash. Last year I decided I wanted my own version of the full quilt and went through my stash looking for fabrics with an antique feel; I would like to have all blocks different, if possible, I have lots of small pieces as I often buy layer cakes or F 1/8th's; I have prepped a few and hope this blog will encourage me to keep working! I am new to blogging and don't have my own blog. I hope I have attached a couple of photos to this post!

Thanks again for letting me join you.

  4. Elaine,

    Your DJs are gorgeous. I love the colors. I've been doing mine in pale colors. I might have to rethink that one.

    Billie...thanks for sharing!
