72 x 90 I squared up the blocks to 9 inches, added a few Tall Ship blocks and the words “Don’t set sail on someone else’s star”. I have more photos and details on my blog post today. Thanks ,everyone, for the lotto winnings! One of my grandkids will get this quilt when they graduate from high school. That will be a while so into the hope chest it goes.

No maroon in my stash and very little yellow and orange. These are pretty much outside my color range. Although I actually like the block, I’m undecided as to whether or not I actually like making the block.  Made some of my 13 QAL blocks first to try it out. Might try other methods with the other QAL blocks I have left.  The only other circle blocks I’ve made in my life (Dresden block centers and a pillow center) were faced.  I...

I mailed my chevron blocks to Jude and Karen today.

  Chevrons for MOD MOD QAL I’ll make queen sized. Blocks will be made of scraps in complementary colors.  I suppose it will be pretty wild when all is said and done. Cathy L in IA Sane, Crazy, Crumby Quilting http://saneandcrazy.blogspot.com/...

Jo, thanks for the little extra you included.  I do not have one like it.   I think I’m just waiting for one more block and then I will decide what to do with all these lovely baskets.  Thank you, everyone!  

In the last couple of days I received blocks from Julie, Kathie and Kathleen.   Thank you!

I didn’t belong to Block Lotto when I made these but they are Block Lotto blocks. I tested bird block construction from scraps and didn’t have enough of the same blue background fabric in my scraps so the bottom blue and blue triangle below bird’s breast are the  same color and it looks rather weird.  But construction worked out okay and I went on to make a flock of birds. Thrifty block is an orphan – 1 left over from...

From my 2 inch scrap bin. Please add to the pot this month.  ...

I received some gorgeous basket blocks in the mail Friday and Saturday from Laura R, Nann, Peggy, Sophie and Jude.  Thanks, everyone. Hopefully I can do those gorgeous blocks justice in a future quilt! Nann, I received one extra and I see Laura posted she was one short. Laura, I’ll forward one on to you when I get a chance.    

  A tisket, a tasket. I made six more...
