       I love the modern look of last year’s woven bars.  I made several “extra” blocks outside the colorway of my Block Lotto 2014 QAL quilt just because it was fun. I decided to use one of those blocks for a free motion quilting challenge hosted by QuiltShopGal. Here is my March challenge...

I have finished the second quilt made from my tall ship...

I first came across Block Lotto in April 2010, when I was looking for liberated quilting inspiration and found it in Sophie’s blog. Being someone who ‘never’ wins these kinds of things, I decided that I would make blocks of my own around a focus fabric (the purple fabric–which has green and teal vines) while participating in the Lotto. Then I went back and did January/February/March. I think you can see some of my blocks...

I have finally finished another quilt using some of my Block Lotto winnings.  This is one of two for two of my grandsons.  The other is on the quilting frame so hope to have that finished soon too.  I still have 12 of these sailing ships left so will have to decide how to use them...

Here’s how my lotto winnings turned out.  The flimsy is 69 x...

I mentioned last month that I was also thinking of using January’s Double 9-Patch block in combination with some (very old) redwork squares … and this is the result. This quilt is 51 inches square. Both the redwork squares and the fabrics I had put aside to use with them are more than a decade old and so while the result might not look exactly like “me” … it is a reminder of a time and place and the quilter that...

I am excited to share with the Block Lotto community a quilt I just finished.  I used Sophie’s flower pattern from August 2011 for the border.  I love it!  This quilt would not have been the same without this border. I have always referred to this quilt as my “Autumn Flowers” because of the autumn colored flowers.  Below is a close up photo of the block with the names of friends and family who made each block and when they...

I’m participating in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge this year. The color for January is blue. This month’s Lotto block was the beginning of my design. Most of the 3.5″ nine-patch blocks came from the Block Swappers.  Thus, three online groups came together in the design of this...

Finally!  I do not know how long I’ve had this redwork block kit, but I’m glad to finally to take them out of the package and place them in quilt. I combined the redwork kit with the double nine patch block pattern.  I think it is a lovely showcase for the...

  Using blocks from the lotto, I made two quilts. They were started ages ago. One was finished this summer and the other this fall. I am only now getting around to taking photos of the finished quilts. I am not sure how to add the links for the block patterns. Tall Bird Block Pattern String Hear Block Pattern Star-Crossed Block Pattern I just copied and pasted. I will try to get the correct tags...

These are the April blocks, turned into a quilt which is now a Christmas...
