Some quilters have a go-to quilt or block pattern. I have the set of got-to block patterns … ones I have chosen or created for the Block Lotto.

I’m very happy to report that ALL of my spokes blocks have arrived, and they are making a charming display on my design wall. Aren’t they wonderful? Now all I have to do it figure out the best way to make them into a quilt masterpiece! Thanks to everyone who sent me blocks. The blocks that spell out my name in the lower left corner were made by Marielle in Mexico, who sent them along as a surprise. Marielle I love them! Thank you. I...

I incorrectly attributed 2 Sunrise blocks way back in June … and only just discovered my goof when I asked someone when they had mailed their blocks only to discover that they didn’t make any.  I am thinking that I incorrectly added those two blocks to my spreadsheet, which has since been sorted and re-sorted, so I have no idea who made them … and haven’t found any clues in old email messages or posts. Can you help me...

After waiting over a month for these blocks, they have arrived. It appears that the postman delivered the envelope to the wrong house and I am guessing it sat there for a while before it was forwarded to me. Now I have all but 2 blocks – still expecting them from Kathy S.

Blocks arrived last week from Dagmar (Germany) and Karen (South Africa) – they are lovely, thank you. I’m still waiting for a few stragglers, but most have arrived. I’m thinking about how I will use them – no one idea has stuck yet.

Just finished quilt top using the sunshine blocks I got last month. Very simple design with the panel in the middle and using the blocks as a border, but I think it’s cute for a baby quilt. Thanks again for all the lovely blocks. And if you dont see your block in the quilt it’s because I have 6 left that I will be turning them into throw...

All the sunrise blocks have made it!!! I have laid them out, admired them and thought a lot…. What will they become? Thank you everyone! Julie

This week I’ve received blocks from Charlene (thanks for the lizard fabric and the fun note), Laura, Margaret, and Sophie. Still expecting a few more (some coming a very long way) but so far they are looking so bright and cheery. I’m starting to think about what to do with them – there’s the obvious choice with them paired up into full suns, but I am starting to imagine a big sunny center medallion with the 1/2 suns as a...

As of today, I have received more blocks from Belinda, Christa, Ginny, Helen, Laura and Laurina! I enjoy laying them out and just looking at them. So far, no plan. Thank you so much!!

Thank you ladies – yours are the first to arrive. Jude added some cat fabric that is so cute. The blocks are beautiful – can’t wait or more to land in my mail box.

I laid out my 8 blocks (so far) and they are SO COOL together! Thank you Jude, Caroline, Kathleen and Kim!! They are here safe and sound!

I THINK I have received all my Diagonal Bar Blocks. I was keeping track on a paper I seem to have misplaced when I cleaned up for 4th of July birthday party and fireworks for youngest son who turned 30.  I know there’s a reason I should never clean. Thanks, everyone! I don’t know what I will do with them just yet.   I also mailed (well, actually, DH mailed) two Sunrise Blocks to Julie P today. Expected delivery date is the...
