… to Peggy. Sorry this is not quite timely but right away after coming back from a one-month trip I sent your 4 blocks off. First thing I could. The reason for the trip was a wedding in Germany. The gift: a quilt! Quilts were not common in Germany but becoming more popular. I think the couple liked it. If you are interested: http://christa-feelingblessed.blogspot.de/2014/09/another-wedding-quilt.html Again, sorry about the...

I did mail my July spoke but forgot to post.   And I don’t know WHAT possessed me but instead of my usual 1 (ONE) I made 4 (FOUR) BL blocks … and right now I had probably the least time to spare … but I had so much fun. Thanks, Sophie. It might also mean that I really would like to win,...

Had done it a while ago and forgot to post. Well, here it is. This was a fun pattern....

The colors are much better in reality. Sometimes taking photos like that is difficult. Happy to have it finally done. I did one with the sneak peek instructions but just didn’t think it was good enough for Block Lotto. This one is not perfect either but better. Much. I found it to be a difficult block. It was those two curves. It was my first paper-piecing and I actually liked it very much. I am glad I had a reason to try...

My block is on the way from Virginia to Julianna in CA. Have fun and Congratulations!

Ups, forgot to post it. Hope it still counts for the sneak...

Helen told me that I needed to register my block or I don’t get the sneak peek. She keeps me on the right path. It would be nice to win since I would like to try another way of quilting it myself. Christa, happy in Virginia because it finally is...

Posted my block to Dagmar in Germany last week … and then went out of town with very limited internet. Sorry about that. Hope it doesn’t take too long to get to you and I hope you have lots of fun. Christa in Virginia

Since I finally did a quilt with the blocks I won in 2012 I think I can hope to win sometime again, ha-ha. I think this one was a bit of a lesson in fabric choice for the star in the middle really to show up....

Not a masterpiece by any account. I won these blocks from the August 2012 Block Lotto and finally had the courage to finish it. Quilting is my problem. I decided to do the quilting myself. I call it my FMQ Sampler. If you want to read more: http://christa-feelingblessed.blogspot.com/2014/03/one-ufo-done.html I learned a lot! Thanks to you all! Christa in Virginia...

Finally the roads were safe enough after our latest winter storm to go to the post office. My bead-on-a-string is on the way to Israel. Eager to see what the winners do with the blocks. Such an interesting and different one! Christa in Virginia

I missed participating in Block Lotto. This one was just too tempting not to try. Loved to research the different techniques and try. Thank you, Sophie! Christa in...
