Here are my four blocks to donate for this month.  Enjoy making them...

As usual with my blocks, I played with lots of interpretations of the guidelines. So you will see: Variations in the LIGHT fabrics, from solid white to gray/lavender on white to black on white to acid green on white Red-violet fabric, blue-violet fabric, sometimes both in the same block Half white/gray and half purple blocks Mostly gray blocks/mostly purple blocks Monochrome blocks (with all purple or gray fabrics) I am donating the chances for...

Have this done from the beginning but almost missed posting it. Missed the sneak peek. Oh well, didn’t have time anyway. Will do better this month … I...

I’ve been on a self-imposed non-sewing regime for nearly two months (stolen laptop+insufficient back-ups=megaton of work to catch up)…. and decided enough was enough… make a block!  I can’t believe how this one simple thing has lifted me out of the misery!   So, here is the one block for July, but do hope to make more time tomorrow to do a couple more.  This block was not too difficult to do, so I’m wondering why...

I made three in order from left to right. I think only the one on the right qualifies as spiky but, gosh, it only takes up half of the block.   The other two lost most of their spikiness  when I squared them up.

There...

Thank you to Sharon, Pat, Moira, Laurina and Laura-your lovely blocks have arrived in NZ.  I have also completed one spiky block and hope to make another tomorrow.  I had to go and buy some more lime green fabric. My plant din’t quite end up in the middle-hope to do better next time.  I will donate my blocks this time...

I took a look of the quilts that were made and posted by winners and participants of the Blocklotto.  My gosh, what a beautiful collection of quilts! I know I have more than a couple of UFOs and gallon sized bags from the winnings of Blocklotto over the years.  Time to spring those beauties out of confinement and get them done.  Anyone for a done by Oct. / Nov. group challenge??
