I made this little (8.5″ x 10.5″) quilt for the Alzheimer’s Art Quilt Initiative (AAQI) project using a lot of the same fabrics I used for the blocklotto blocks last month. These blocks are 2″ finished. Laura...

Finished Quilt Top with blocks I won from Crazy Chinese Coins....

Just finished a little Christmas table topper for mom using the March block. Combined the D4P block with a regular 4-patch. Added a little embrodiery to reinforce the peppermint pattern on the back. Made the self-binding a little wider than I usually would for a table topper, to show a little of the peppermint motif on the front. Blessings! ...

I pulled out this old project and made some progress last night. All the blocks were made from the 10-inch blocks patterns on Marcia Hohn’s Quilter’s Cache site.  Almost all of them were Lotto Block choices during 2005 and 2006. I recently finished up the scrappy green and cream alternate blocks as part of the rainbow scraps challenge. There are some in-progress photos (including my kitty helpers) on my Sophie Junction blog. Do you...

This is ready for the quilter. I used every block I received and some of my own. It is my geocaching quilt! I am posting a link, not everyone knows what geocaching is…. http://www.geocaching.com/ Thank you block lotto for being here and giving me a chance to win, & thank you to all the participants who sent me your blocks. Julie P (joe...

As I was going to sleep last night I had an idea how to arrange the black and bright trees that I won  in December.  A while ago I had tried arranging the blocks as two quilts: one bright on black, and one black on bright, but they were both quite small, so I thought about one style in the centre and the other style outside Astonishingly, I still remembered it when I woke up this morning, and the blocks went perfectly together in my first (OK,...

I managed to do another two hearts to donate as I was a lucky winner last time I have also finished piecing a scrappy top which contains my ‘bonus’s’ and a heart that I made first and is too small to enter the lotto – just need to trim and add a scrappy green border and for the first time – no cost, no outlay just time spent…...

Gail asked me to post this photo of her 6 string hearts. And also shared this photo of a bright Log Cabin quilt she made after she DIDN’T win the lotto blocks when we made these in August 2009. I know I am always saying that if you wish you had won but didn’t, make some blocks for yourself . . .  and Gail did. Welcome back to the Block Lotto, Gail.  I’ve added your heart blocks to the list and we now have a total-so-far this...

Last fall, my intention was to FINISH this project before St. Valentine’s Day.  I humbly confess that I only just got around to pulling it all out of the box before the holiday.  With all your lovely gifts of rose blocks, you can begin to see my intended design for the quilt. This isn’t all the word blocks I won in the Block Lotto a year ago–so don’t panic if you don’t see yours, but it’s all I had space for on my...

I finished the top from the blocks that I won a couple months back.  I took the idea from Mary‘s quilt. Thanks everyone for all your wonderful...

I have finished a top with half of the liberated star blocks I won. I think the narrow red sashing sets the blocks off quite nicely. Thank you again to all who made these...

I’m participating in Judy’s monochromatic challenge, where she challenges us to make something every month using just 1 color and 1 neutral color (black or beige or white). This month’s color is yellow and I used my yellow fabrics (which tend to the gold end of the spectrum) and the stacked coins pattern to make “Gold Coins.” It is 4 columns of 5 blocks and about 40″ x 50″. I’ll bind it in scraps...
