This quilt for AAQI was inspired by the block lotto block for February. It is 7.5″ x 9.0″. I used one set of the cutoff part of the string-pieced heart to make the heart in this quilt....

I wish I knew whose blocks I’ve used.  I still have some blocks left, but now most of the blocks I received last year are used.  This is my latest quilt from them. Thanks to all whose work went into my quilt! Pattilou (Pat in...

Hi, I just thought I would post a picture of the quilt top I have finished using the lovely 3 patch blocks I won.  I made a few more so I could increase the size a wee bit.  I have yet to get the backing and quilting sorted out but you can get the gist.  I think the colours go great with the grey tie-dye sashing and I have bought some purple cotton that I am thinking of using for the back. Thanks again to all the lovely ladies who sent me...

First a bit of old news.  Here are my clover blocks pieced and ready to back and bind.  I’m going to use a scrappy green binding.  I was thinking about doing a scrappy green border, but when I had it on the design wall, it seemed to detract from the clover too much.  I really love this quilt.  I’d never set anything on point before so it was a bit of a challenge for me.  I have a few clover left over that I plan to turn into a...

Hi everyone,  here are a couple pictures of a crib quilt I’ve made from this month’s pattern.  I was thinking of adding a border of white or black to the quilt, but now I’m leaning toward no additional border and just binding the quilt in black. Any thought or suggestions?  Without the extra border the quilt measures approx 34″ x...

Hi Ladies With some encouragement from our lovely leader, Sophie, I am posting a picture of my completed Pineapple Blossom. Several months ago when this was the block of the month, I went wild over the scrappiness of it. I did the blocks on the machine and then did hand quilting doing it in my own QAYG style. Below is a pic of 4 blocks quilted ready to add to another set of 4 Below is the finished quilt. Thanks to Sophie for having this...

I loved this block when making it for the lotto, so I’ve chosen to do it again (and again) in a variety of sizes for a quilt I need to make as a gift. The largest block is 12″ (how convenient was it that Sophie did a wide variety of sizes in her instructions!), working down through 9, 8, 6, 4 and yes – even 3″ (for which I admit, I hard to figure the sizes out myself) inch blocks. Verdict – the 3″ blocks are...

Just thought I’d share a few photos … First, a quilt top made from my modern clover winnings. I love how it turned out, and it is on the top of my pile to quilt and finish! Thanks so much to everyone who sent me blocks! These next two are charity quilts. I had these great panels, but I wanted to make the quilts a bit bigger. The block lotto checkerboard blocks were perfect to add some interest to the top and bottom. Thanks, Sophie,...

Okay! The big reveal! You are seeing the finished product first as you contributed the blocks. Be kind! This was my first time quilting a large quilt FMQ on my regular sewing machine.  And again, thank you, thank you, to everyone for your blocks. Picture one, above, Finished!, Picture two, the back with part of the front pulled up for contrast, Picture three, close up of one block quilted. Picture four, after washing and drying, in all...

Still no violet blocks, but I have finished up the quilt made with the Stacks blocks I won. A simple straight set but blocks turned in alternating directs. 2.5″ white border and then I used up leftover bits of bindings. A nice cheerful quilt that I will be sending to my niece who has been going through a lot of medical difficulties and...

Thought you might want to see where some of my July winnings have already gone…a chair cover for my chair at work. It is going to help make my classroom a great place to be.  (I have to do something to make the idea of going back tolerable). Thanks so much...

Here it is…the blocks I won in April 2010 are now a completed quilt. Now maybe I’ll get some violet blocks...
