I had a lot of organizing to do to get these blocks prepared - now that I am set up I'm planning on making nine blocks this month - but right now I'm submitting the first six completed.
The strips are made from fabric from my first set of quilts and they are colors of the rainbow (I'm missing green in this initial batch.)
I'm pleased with how they look, and even more happy that my husband and son both got a little involved with helping me get things set up, picking out the bright materials, and getting me a 8.5 inch block ruler that made it very easy to get to the final size.
I'm glad to have found this block lotto - I think this is just the sort of thing that will get me started again with quilting!
Thank you Sophie and all of you! Hope these will get on the official list for the month!

How fun that your husband and son got involved in the process and helped. Welcome to you all to the Block Lotto ;-)
ReplyDeleteI've added your 6 blocks to the list (I'll update the number when you post your next 3).
You are in plenty of time for the lotto–Ginny will be randomly picking the winners NEXT Sunday on Jan 31. You are a little late to make the sneak peek deadline (which was at noon today), but since you're a newbie, I'm going to forward it to you ... so you (and your family) can get busy with your February blocks. I have a feeling they may get involved again ;-)
Our new total-so-far for January is 219 blocks. If 8 more blocks are entered in the next week, we'll have FIVE winners. The first four names picked with win a set of 48 blocks and the fifth person will receive 35 blocks.
