New Blocks

Here are my blocks for the month.

Kina

Almost all my PB blocks are here

I got my held mail from the post office today and had 4 more squishies. I got lovely blocks from Pokey in CA, Maree & Laurina - both in New Zealand, and from Diana in the UK. The only one missing is Debbie in Israel, and it's a long way from Israel to SE GA, so I'm not worried about that one. I'll try to get them all up on my makeshift design wall and play a bit tomorrow. I can't wait to see what they are all going to look like together. Thank you everyone!

Carrie's June Blocks

Well, I have three for this month's lotto. Love the way these colors look together and very easy to sew up!

Pretty summer colors - thx Sophie!

A Complex Variation of our 3-Patch

Check out this pattern, called Stepping Stones, from Judy Niemayer.

Do you see the 3-patch rectangles ... and a couple of alternate ideas using the same sections/proportions?

A couple of Lotto-Inspired Finishes

I made my "super rectangle" table topper my Friday Night Sew In project and managed to quilt 28 different designs, inspired by Leah Day's Free Motion Quilting Project, into the 27 rectangles.

It was fun to play with the different designs ... and discover that I'm better at free-motion-quilting circles than I would have imagined. I'm sure some of these designs will find their way into other quilt projects.

Over the weekend, I added the binding and also finished work on the pillow cover that is made from three liberated basket blocks (like those we made last summer).  It's sitting on the kitties' window seat because the purpose of the project was to cover a worn pillow that both cats adore.

I suppose the moral of this story is that you don't need a whole bunch of blocks to make something interesting ;-)

Another Block Received

Oh! I'm getting so excited! Only awaiting two more "squishies" then I can really get to arranging my Pineapple Blossom blocks on the wall.  Saturday I received a block from Kina in MN. Two very cute floral fabrics are included in this block. One is yellow background with pink flowers and the other is a pink backround with orangey/yellow flowers. I wanted to share them with you but when I tried to take a picture I couldn't get the lighting right. Thank you Kina!

Two for me

Here are my two blocks for this month.  I hope the colours are right.  I only did two because I didn't have that many fabric choices in the colour range that went well together.

I'll donate my chances this month.  Thanks

June's Easiest Block Ever

I was able to sew up three of the blocks.  I  would like to sew up more, but between vacation, extra work and my mom-in law coming out I'm not sure I'll have time.  But here are three for the lotto.

all the blocks are here...

Yesterday, the last package of blocks arrived in the mailbox! I now have all of them here!
These blocks will make one nice quilt!
Thank you to everyone.

Two so far

Summers are so busy for me.  I don't find a lot of "indoor" free time.  So far I've managed to make two blocks. (Sorry the picture is so dark).  I think these are going to make a very interesting quilt.  I hope to do some more before the month is out.  We'll see.

More lovelies received!

Thanks Cheryl, your blocks arrived safe and sound. Thanks for the bonus triangles as well...they are going to be fun to put together.

4 blocks to donate in June

Here are four 3-patch blocks for June. I'd like to donate these.

Pb received

Vivi, your lovely blocks and extra triangles came today! So lovely to look at....thank you.
I've been saving stamps off envelopes off and on for a few years, and these from Norway are terrific. I have a 7 yr old grandson whom I'm hoping will want to start a stamp collection. I don't hear much about kids doing that these days, but I liked it as a kid. My dad was always bringing home stamps from the office. Sorry for the off topic rabbit trail....:}

Three + Two extra blocks received from Ramie, thank you so much. My design wall is growing by the day!

Dianah's Blocks

Dianah asked me to post her blocks because she expects to be busy this summer and may not make more for a while, so didn't need author privileges.

In her email to me, she said, " I don't know when I will make Lotto blocks again. I fell in love with these and they were so easy!"

Good luck with your move, Dianah!
