Great Blvok choice Sophie!  I am adding it to my star sampler which needs 9″ blocks also! Here is my first...

You’ve already seen these, but I was wondering about how they would look in an on-point setting. I haven’t decided which way I like them better, straight set or like...

When my husband saw this block last night he said “I love that Halloween star!” I hadn’t realized beforehand that it DID look very Halloween. Oh well, it will look great among the others. I used the paper-piecing option to make it, and it was pretty simple. I’d like to donate my star to the pot. Another great block...

I was worried for a second that my block wouldn’t follow the fabric guidelines but I checked in a really bright light and decided the contrast fabric was darker than the rest.  Whew, done just in time to make the deadline!  Helen in Nashville, TN...

I had four cut out but only got one made.  ( I had failed to read directions carefully so my little buds were lighter instead of darker).  September really got away from me.  These are beautiful blocks and I’d love to...

Corinne hasn’t been able to participate in the Block Lotto for a while and sent me email because she is having a hard time getting logged in and didn’t want to miss the deadline for the tulip blocks.  These are...

Tulips don’t grow very well in the South; it’s not cold enough. That’s my excuse for only making 3 of these great blocks. One could make a case for putting the purple one in the goofed category–I used a blue-purple print and for the bud, used a red-purple picked up from the print’s colors. Both were in my stack of purples, but the some would put the red-purple in with the...

Well, I checked my blocks and it looks like I am one of those people who doesn’t follow directions well!!!  I have 2 blocks that don’t fit the rules!  But I had made 2 more, so I still have 9 for the drawing and 2 for the misfit toys!!!!    lol    Still hoping I win some of these...

This brings me up to 4 tulips this month – hope it will help me be lucky and win! Although the center of the tulip looks black, it is a very dark purple and very pretty in...

Spring has sprung in Auckland, just this weekend we had a sunny day with no rain at all. I know that rain and spring go together, but it’s been a wet few months and the sunshine was welcome. Unfortunately, I cannot grow tulips here because it’s too warm and wet in the winter and the bulbs rot in the ground – so, these two will have to do! I do love these blocks and they will make such a beautiful and colourful quilt –...

These three should be correct for entering. One is from the first group I posted and 2 are remade. I waited all week for a good light and still didn’t get a very good shot. That top one, that looks like black, isn’t black, it is a deep...
