Just in time for the deadline I guess, I finished 5 more blocks this morning, taking my total to 6. I was hoping to get to 9 to maximise my chances of winning some of those great blocks but that will be all for me this month. I started the blocks during the month while working on other projects, sewing random strips together so when I pulled out my bits and pieces yesterday evening, I realised I had 5 blocks started that needed a few extra...

If it wasn’t for the last minute sometimes I’d not get anything done.  I’ve been busy with my Christmas Projects but didn’t want to miss the Block Lotto sneak preview and get removed from the Blog authorship again.  I made a block last night and it was a bit dark, so I made another with lighter fabrics.  One has Navy fro the Dark center and one is Kona Black.  I like the method used to make these...

I managed to get another 2 blocks done this evening, so that makes a total of 8 for me.  I would have liked to go for the whole 9, but it’s almost midnight here in the Pacific Northwest and I’m tired, so this is gonna be it for me. Here are all 8 of my blocks.  I sure would like to win this month, so my fingers are crossed!  Good luck...

Pat from the UK emailed this photo of her two blocks to me with this note: Hi Sophie, I’ve been really busy this past month or so and not keeping up with things.  I did make two blocks for this month yesterday, photographed them this morning but forgot the time difference when I came to post them just now.  Anyway, there are two more blocks to add to the total if you would like to include them. I am attaching a pic as it seems a...

Here are three for this month…I plain forgot to post!  Am I too late? Shelley aka madme...

Congratulations to the winners!  Can’t wait to see your creations.  Poor me, poor me (just kidding of course).  I didn’t win at all in 2012.  Oh well, not my year.  I won twice in 2011, so maybe next year will be better.  I’m happy for those who did win.  Mine will prepare for the envelopes!

Well, I’m certainly doing the Happy Dance!! I’m excited and can’t wait to see the wonderful variety of blocks I have won!! Thanks everyone!!! Belinda Browndirtcottage.com

Here are nine blocks for the lotto this month. I managed to get them all sewn. They all will make a lovely colourful quilt.Thank you for picking this block Sophie. The photo includes the two that I posted earlier.Good luck to everyone who submitted blocks this month. Since this is our last lotto this year, I hope you all have a great, safe holiday season. Coralie in...

but sad for me. Make something pretty! Congratulations!!!

I started with a numbered list, organized alphabetically by first name. I distributed the donated chances among the 13 quilters who have never won lotto blocks. And then I let the random generator site do it’s work: This translates to: Belinda Debra Benta Jo Michelle Kristin Cyndi Ellie The last number belonged to someone who had already won, so I went back to the source to choose a replacement:  And our ninth winner this month is:...

Hopefully this will work. I’m computerless so I’m using the blogger app on my phone. Sorry about the picture quality!-Kristin

My computer has been misbehaving, so I haven’t been on top of all the last minute blocks you all have been posting … I’m playing catch up this morning, updating the list and double-checking it one more time before I randomly choose the winners. I can’t believe how many blocks have been made and/or posted in the last couple days.  Our total is 331 blocks–enough for 9 winners to receive a set of at least 36...
