I have finally finished the last of the blocks I have won participating in Block Lotto.  So much fun. Again a BIG THANK YOU to Sophie for providing this wonderful experience and thanks to everyone who participates....

Decided to use the blocks on the design wall from August, 2016 win, divided 9-patch blocks.  I think it will make a nice crib-sized quilt:...

I recently participated in a Gwennie Inspired Medallion Quilt Along where each round was a different theme to be interpreted by the maker. The medallion theme was BASKET so I used my basket lotto winnings.  More on the themes for the other borders on my blog post today.  Cathy L in IA Sane, Crazy, Crumby Quilting...

I have finally finished a quilt I started last year from blocks that I won. The blocks were fun to work with.  Thanks to everyone who made...

My August top made from June 2011 3-patch blocks: I won 47 blocks and made 17 additional blocks to complete the top.  Not sure which blocks my September top will be...

here is the quilt i made, and my mom quilted from the blocks I won about a year...

I was keeping up pretty well with the extra blocks to make the mystery sampler until we got to summer. Then I got overwhelmed with other things, and got lost! So there sat my shoebox of blocks made, and along came the Snail’s Trail Star pattern from Debby Kratovil (free pattern download link in post), and a nice baby quilt was created.     I hope to catch up again with the lotto, if not this month, then in...

Our guild is having a “finish your UFOs” challenge this summer. When I won the May leaf pairs block lotto I was motivated to make them into a quilt rather than have them languish in my sewing room. I used Sophie’s flower idea on the top of my stacked leaves and lots of scrappy neutrals for the background. I only needed to make one more leaf pairs for my layout. Thank you to everyone who sent me blocks! One of our guild members...

My July top from 2012 June – Simplified Schoolhouse: I added a few paper-pieced trees.  My August top will be from 2011 June – Three-patch rectangle blocks.  ...

I hope it is ok to post this here. I haven’t gotten to play the lotto in quite a while. But I continue to follow along and love seeing everyone’s creations. A few years ago when I was just learning to quilt I started playing the Blocklotto. I found a little community that is supportive and encouraging. And I learned so many great techniques and even won a couple of times. One of the techniques I learned was building a string quilt....

My completed top for June made from November 2010 purple sampler blocks: My July top will probably be made from 2012 June – Simplified Schoolhouse...

I made myself and each of my three siblings a quilt incorporating stars that I won on block lotto last year and extra stars that I had made.  The fox quilt was made with blocks that didn’t quite make the guidelines for the block lotto “domestic pet blocks”. Before our mother unexpectedly passed away in 1985, she had started to make a double wedding ring quilt and  had sewn all of the blue pieced sections into sets of four.  I...
