In 2009, shortly after the Thrifty Block was released, I swapped blocks with members of a Yahoo Group no longer in existence.  I’ve had them laying around in a box ever since.  My backing fabric was not big enough so I added a few Violet blocks (another block lotto block) I swapped with members of another Yahoo Group.
