I wasn’t

I really was going to skip this month because I have so many Christmas projects going on right now, several I want done by Thanksgiving to send as early presents (quilts that are Christmas themed mostly) but as I was getting some Christmas themed fabric out of a tub to use as backing I had to pull out nine different Christmas themed fabrics….yup, nine exactly. So I made them.

As I was cutting the fabric I told myself “I’ll just donate my chances this month, I have too many projects for this Christmas and I’d hate to have those blocks just sitting around for 10 or so months before I put them into a project.

Then I made two sets. Two. One for me, and one for the lotto. One set to keep if I win and can send the other set to the other winners (I noticed we had at least 100 blocks so far this month and it’s only the 14th) so I could be selfish but not too selfish. And if I don’t win, then I have an idea for all this other random holiday fabric I have. (Easter fabric? with fancy scissors on it? If you need some, I have it! hehe!)

Moral of the story, here are my nine blocks, and yes I am playing for the pot this month. Good intentions out the window.

Holiday Spools, eh? Sounds like a plan. (That Easter fabric with the eggs and scissors is rather pretty!)

I've added your blocks to the list. With your blocks and Gail's, we now have 118 blocks so far this month . . . thirteen more blocks and we'll have enough for three winners. Think we'll make it?
