The purple and green combination was one we discussed on the forum a while ago when we were brainstorming ideas for the lotto. Then I saw this baby quilt while blog-surfing in January--I loved the block/color combination and quickly added it to the list for the lotto.
The directions for making the blocks and fabric/color guidelines can be found on the Quilting on about.com, 6" Buckeye Beauty Block for Beginner Block Lotto - May 2008
The May block lotto discussion on the forum begins here.
You may make up to 8 blocks (4 pairs) to enter in the block lotto.
To enter your blocks into the lotto:
- Share a photo of your block(s) by attaching it to a forum message, posting it on a blog or photo site and linking to it from a forum message or post a message on the forum letting me know that you are sending it to me via email so I can share it with everyone.
- Send me your name and mailing address via email (if I don't already have it from a precious month). I need your email address so that I can send you the sneek peek (if your blocks are made at least one week before the end of the month). I need your name and address so that if you win the drawing, I can let everyone know where to send your blocks.
Last month we had another month of 200-plus blocks and multiple winners. Thanks to everyone for continuing to make the monthly Beginner Block Lotto a huge success.

ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is that I did not make this quilt using the Buckeye Beuty block. The half-square triangles were one block and the little four patches were another block. You can see the individual blocks in this post:
