2 sets of blocks

Here are 2 sets for me

5 pairs of checkerboard blocks

Here are my 5 pairs of checkerboard blocks for July. I love this block! So much fun to make, so much fun to look at! Sophie's instructions on how to keep everything straight while assembling the blocks were really helpful. I have never won, but I am keeping my fingers crossed for this month. :) 

Sophie, I will not be available Aug. 1. If I should win, I definitely want the blocks!! If it's an option to keep some of the blocks I made, I'd like to keep one of each pair. I should be back in contact by late Aug. 2.

I think I just reminded myself

I have sometimes noticed that when someone offers unsolicited advice, they are telling you about themselves . . . and my email earlier today would be an excellent example.  I sent a reminder to all the sneak-peekers to remember to post photos of their blocks even if they had sent me photos of the virtual quilt.  

Guess who needed the reminder?  Here are my two pair of liberated checkerboard bloks ;-)

Alternate Winner for JUNE Blocks

Almost two days later, I have not heard from Jo.  I used the random number web site to generate a new winner.

Congratulations Vivi–you are lucky number 344 and our new Winner #9. 

You should have email from me.  Please reply as soon as possible, so everyone can begin to send their 3-patch blocks to the winners.

Michelle's July Blocks

Here they are. 10 blocks (5 pairs) I do believe the blocks this month are going to become some fun quilts! Thanks Sophie for another great block choice!

Krista's Completed Tic-Tac-Toe Quilt

Krista gave me permission to post photos of her finished Tic-Tac-Toe quilt. You can read more about it on blog, Quilts and More: June UFO

The pieced back is really cool, too--a giant Tic-tac-toe block ;-)

Tina's July Blocks

Here are my 2 sets of blocks for July. These were really fun to make!

Please enter me with 4 pairs of blocks. I'm still hoping to win one!

Updates

I have heard from all the winners except Jo in Oman.  For those who are wondering (and I know you are, since I've already had some email about it) when they'll be receiving the mailing info for the June 3-patch blocks,  it's almost good to go . . . I just need to hear from Jo (or pick an alternate winner). 

I found some time today to (fonally) create the lotto block index for 2011 . . . and add the last blocks to the 2010 index.  Next, I'll work on getting everything added to the Block Patterns page.  Whether you look through all the blocks chronologically on the yearly index pages or alphabetically on the block patterns page, it's a pretty interesting collection of block designs, techniques and color-ways.

I also plan to add all the great projects made from or inspired by lotto blocks to our Gallery. In the meantime, you can use the label quilts to see al the posts containing the great things that everyone has made. 

As I mentioned in the June recap post, we're now at 100 authors, which is the limit that blogspot allows.  No one should panic, there will always be a way for anyone who wants to join to do so, but sometime soon, I will probably check for quilters that haven't made blocks for a while ... and make their author spots available to those that want to join (or re-join) the block lotto community.

July Checkerboard Blocks x5 from Kathy S

Here's my five sets of blocks for the July Block Lotto -- Checkerboard Blocks.  Why is it that every month I say, "OH! I love that block!!!"  "I need to make more!!!"  I think I have been bit by the quilt bug!

Have a great weekend everybody!

Checkerboard blocks X 3 from CathyC

The blocks for July are a real ball to make

Here are my blocks so far:

not really happy with my points on the red one ;-(

the above two are actually purple, but are displaying more blue

these last two are my faves -

I am hoping to make more before the end of the month.

So that makes 3 pairs for me so far ;-)

Checkerboard blocks completed

 

This months blocks will make a stunning quilt.

Mary Jane's Blocks for July

I am a serious fan of wonky just about anything. 

Love these blocks

I loved making these blocks, although make sure there are no breezes or cats that might rearrange the pieces. Like Humpty Dumpty, I think they would be hard to put back together once they were out of position. The white and solids look so clean and crisp. Put me down for the full 10 blocks this month.

July Checkerboard Blocks

Sophie, put me down for 10, though I just photographed 5. I can't put labels on this post since I'm using my iPad and its Blogpress app.

I did these for the sneak peak, and then realized you can't attach things to emails on the iPad either. I really should have brought the laptop with me on this trip, but didn't think I'd need it. Oh well!
