Finished my Black/White Nine-Patches

Here is the third Block Lotto quilt finished. It took a lot of design wall play to figure out how these blocks wanted to live together. The blocks looked better to me when they were “fenced in” with my hand-dyed fabrics. Each one became its own quilt — and the workmanship showed up so nicely. My long-arm quilter, Charlene Koppenol, designed the pattern for the dark blocks. It looks like globes and fits the international flavor of Block Lotto. I showed the quilt at my guild meeting tonight and there were lots of happy sighs and murmurs. Applause, too.
