What I’ve done with my winnings…
Sophie’s post about finished quilts reminded me that I’m not sure I showed this baby quilt, made with bright cracker blocks I won back in Sept (2008) – this is something of a record for me, as the quilt was finished in early January and sent to my SIL, who had a Christmas baby. The other lotto blocks I have won have taken longer to act on…
The photo of a little quilt made from a basket block has been shown here (I actually have made 3 mini quilts from those blocks, have one more in reserve for myself and passed the rest on to my friend Ann, who has pieced together a nice top from them – she hasn’t quilted it yet, but then she hasn’t had them for long… )
I have also won three other sets of blocks in the time I’ve been playing the lotto – I won black and white Scottie Dogs (June 06) and Batik Sawtooth Stars (Oct 07), both of which have made it into tops – the Scottie Dogs will be a present for DD1 – hopefully for Christmas this year – and the Stars will be a tabletop quilt – just have to work out what to batt it with (something very thin, I think!).
The final set, purple and green Buckeye Beauties (May 08), I have yet to put together into a top, though it’s on my list…
