2018 Block Lotto
A lot of you said you wanted the Block Lotto to continue. To do so, I need your help. Offers to help with the expenses of maintaining the site are very much appreciated, but I also need help leading the monthly activities: choosing the blocks, making samples, creating (or referencing a block pattern), keeping track of blocks posted by others.
