Return to DJ

I've been suffering from withdrawal for the last few days due to the fact that my family was out of town, so I quickly made this DJ block this afternoon. It's "M-12 Hopscotch", a beginner-level block that I chose to paper piece.

While riding in the car this weekend, I spent a bit of time going through the Dear Jane book and was fascinated by some of the things that Brenda Papadakis discovered about the original quilt. For instance, not all of the blocks are the same size.

I did get a bit depressed because the more I studied the book, the more I realized that a lot of the blocks will be quite difficult to do, especially for someone like me who is not an experienced applique quilter. But I will muddle through somehow.
