Correction!
The original instructions for the March Susannah block had one picture flipped in error (or as I like to say, “by misssssssssnake”). Anyway, that has now been fixed. The link will now take you to the corrected tutorial, or you can access it here: BlockLottoSusannah. Thanks for bearing with me!

Here are my four blocks for the March Block Lotto. Half of my family are Michigan State graduates whose colors are green and white so it would be sweet to win these blocks. They were pretty easy to construct if I had paid attention to the orientation of the dark green and white triangle. I now have four blades that spin backwards for my parts department...

Welcome to March at the Block Lotto! To celebrate the eventual arrival of spring (in the Northern Hemisphere, that is) and all things Irish in March, our block this month is heavy on the greens. It’s fun and easy and offers a lot of design potential. For March, we’ll be making the traditional block, “Oh Susannah!”, but we’re simplifying the name to Susannah. The finished block will be 8”, but should measure 8.5” as sewn. The inspiration and colors for this block comes from Design Seeds (a great color website – check it out!) and the...

We made 84 blocks so we will have two winners this month picked from 62 entries (donations excluded). Picking winners was really fun and educational too!

Robin, The first upload seemed to work but then my page would not post. I got out of Block Lotto and go in again as the publishing attempt continued to be trying to upload. This time I went to the media page and clicked on the photo I had loaded from my iPhoto. I will try to post again and see what happens this time. Thanks for your help with this. :)Carol ...

Thank you Robin, It seems to have worked. I dragged your email photo into my iPhoto and then uploaded to post as I did in the past and it appears here so I think that this will work. Thank you so much. So does this mean that if I email a photo to myself I can resize it to small and upload it or do I need to send it to you first. Thanks for your help....
