i also want to share my curved rail quilt. i liked the idea of the quilt so much , i made my own! i made the entire quilt (except the outer border) from my own batik stash....needless to say, i am a bit of a batik nut...

it measures 104" x 112" and i named it "wiggles"

Under the wire

Here are my three to donate, making a total of three from mb. in Florida for September.

 
Late Tuesday they finished installing the new kitchen counter, Wednesday the plumber came & hooked up the sink & water-needing appliances & around 4 yesterday my sewing room emerged from under the kitchen boxes & these three blocks were (almost) the first thing I did!

Kim's Blocks

Kim is no longer in HK and neither is her sewing machine.  Here are her blocks:

She's donating her chances this month.

Six September 2011 Blocks by June in San Diego

Under the wire!  Here are my six blocks.

Melinda's Blocks

Here are Melinda's blocks ... I noticed them on her blog with a mention of how she is no longer an author. As some of you can probably tell, the Author's list has become a bit of a revolving door ... if you haven't make blocks for 2-3 months, you probably have been replaced on the list by someone who wanted to join and has made blocks and is ready to post.

(And if you think that sounds like a pain for you ... imagine what it's like for me, CONSTANTLY editing the list and looking at the history of blocks made to figure out who can be removed in order to add someone who has made blocks and is ready to post.)

Anyway, as you can see, Melinda made some beautiful blocks--you can read what she had to say about them on her blog.

 

With the addition of the blocks from Jean and Melinda, we now have enough blocks for NINE WINNERS this month.  Mary will be choosing the winners tomorrow afternoon. 

Debbie D's September blocks

I'm new to the Block Lotto this month. I'm a longarm quilt from Southington, CT. Shannon (pieceful kwilter) told me about this and i'm thrilled she did. I've done 9 blocks for this month's drawing.

3 Curved Rails from Kristin

Even though I pulled and washed my fabrics at the beginning of the month, I procrastinated on building them, mostly because I don't care for sewing curves.

I can do it, they aren't overly difficult, I just don't like curves.

I had hoped to get them done in time for the sneak peek, but I didn't.

Now I have to wait to find out what we get to build with blue and white.

 Oh well.

Here are my three blocks.

Three blocks from Sophie

Even though I've had more fabrics pulled, pressed and sitting on my sewing table for a few weeks, it looks like I won't make any more blocks beyond the first three.

I' donating my chances this month.

Rail blocks

I forgot to post these after the sneak peak! I only made 3, and I'd like to donate the.

Bright Batik Blocks

Here are nine blocks for September. I used what I thought was a small stash of mismatched batiks and love how they all look together as blocks!   As always, our recipients will be lucky indeed!

Batik Curved Rail Blocks, and Thank You

Thank you for 'bringing me into the fold', Sophie. 

These are my first lotto blocks - though I got previous patterns made, just not in time for the lotto.  These were fun and colorful.  I have to admit to loving batiks!  As you see, I made the max of 9.  Having sewn clothing before, curved piecing isn't a lot of challenge, though it HAS been awhile.  I see I left a ripple while taking the picture, though.  Now that I'm done sewing these, I can cross my fingers for luck!

My name is Corinne. My husband and I retired here to Forks, Washington, USA about 5 years ago - before the "Twilight" hype started.  Forks is on the Olympic Peninsula, west of Seattle and Puget Sound, in the middle of beautiful forests, including the only temperate rainforest in the continental US - which means we get about 10 FEET of rain each year.  Yes, I mean feet.  For more pictures of Forks and the West End (of the peninsula), you can click to go to my blog. I used to post there a lot more often, and haven't really done a lot lately, but the archives have a lot of shots we've taken around the peninsula.  It's really beautiful here!

Good luck everyone with the lotto!

My September blocks...

9 + 3 extra:

Tina's September blocks

I really enjoyed choosing fabrics from my batik stash for these blocks and the stitching was easier than I expected.


I considered sitting this month out, but I haven't missed a month since I started in April. I'm on a roll, but haven't won any blocks yet.

This block is my favorite!

Curved Rails for September

I've completed 6 lotto blocks for this month.  I'm sure I'll do more, as it is a fun way to use up my mish mash of batiks into an eye appealing quilt top.

September blocks

Here are my three blocks for September.  They were surprisingly easy.  This was my first time with curved seams and with batiks!

3 more for September

I've had these blocks done for ages and am finally posting them now. I am really loving all of the great batik colors.

That makes 9 all together from me for the month.

Curved Rail Blocks

Hello Everyone,

I think I have it, this is a picture of my curved rail blocks. Qty 9. I really like batiks, but I had to search my stash inside the house for 9 different ones. I am rearranging and almost everything is covered up in storage.

Have fun Quilting
Debra

I'm not a huge fan of batiks, but I have promised myself I would start to work with them to possibly change my mind. This was the perfect project to dip my toe in the batik waters! I had fun picking out some FQs and stitching these blocks. Thanks for the opportunity to challenge myself, Sophie!

September curves

As you see, I love batik tie dyes, and the rich colors. These were fun. I'm entering 9.
