I finally did something fun with the Tall Fly blocks that I won in the February, 2013, Block Lotto.  I needed a quick birthday gift for a friend.  By adding just a little white-on-white fabric to help offset these blocks, I whipped up this quick and fun table runner.  I love the colors that Sophie chose for these blocks.  The color scheme was black, red, and green — tomato colors.  Fun,...

I had enough blocks to make two tops – one with black, and the other just red and green. These are both going to my guild’s community service program where they’ll be placed in loving...

Finally finished the binding and label. Everyone that contributed is listed on the label. Now to wash it….I hope that everyone washed their fabric!!!...

Here’s a picture of all of the Tall Fly blocks I received from the January 2013 Block Lotto.  I’ll be putting my thinking cap on for an arrangement for these.  I love the colors!!!Thank you,...

Thank you, Christina.  The Tall Fly blocks arrived yesterday.

Christa has received all her Tall Fly Blocks.  Let the piecing begin!  

I have now received all my tall fly blocks from January. I have been playing around with them and hope to have them sewn together soon. Lori

Received Ana’s Tall Fly Blocks today from Barcarere, Partugal. Thank you, Ana!

I received Sophie’s Tall Fly block yesterday. I’m expecting two more packages (Christina from Utah, and Ana from Portugal.) Thanks, Sophie!

I just double checked, and I have ALL my tall fly blocks.  Thanks so much, ladies!  I’ll lay them out next week or the one after – they might go with me on a trip in my RV where I can play with them while my husband’s fishing.
