This week my 30's Dear Jane quilt took a different direction. I had started to set a few of the blocks on point with white setting squares as alternate blocks, but it was starting to look too 'white' so I unpicked what I'd done.I thought it could look nice to set them together with sashing strips like in the original quilt, but make them a little wider and have coloured cornerstones. So, I'm mirroring the trip around the world theme with the cornerstones, and I feel sure I'll like this arrangement a lot better. This time around I don't plan to make the corner triangles - after all, I made them all last time, and there's no need to make the whole quilt again. If I can find something I like, I may add a 30's print border and then still do the scallops ...
Let's see if I change my mind again :-)

Love your setting! And the little coloured cornerstone are so cute!!
Great choice!!
These blocks are lovely and I really like the setting you've chosen. Are you saying you have made a DJ quilt before? And you're doing it AGAIN?!
I love those blocks! Look great! I really want to sew something for myself! Everytime that I am almost caught up on customer quilting I end up getting more of them! It has been a while since I have sewn or quilted anything for myself.

Your color are so pretty and the way you are putting it together is wonderful! HAPPY SEWING!
Oh they are just too cute!
Looking great. Isn't if funny how picking up a quilt again after a while can just draw you in? Those little cornerstones are just perfect.
I love your bright and cheery DJ and I really like the cornerstones...maybe I'll do it that way when I make my third one...lol...don't worry I'm only 3 rows into my second DJ.
