I’ve received mug blocks from Barbara S, Ellie, Helen, Julie P., Maria and Marybeth. Thank you—they are truly wonderful! I can’t believe how lucky I am, and what a fun quilt this is going to be when I get to put it together. Thanks also for the lovely pattern, Maria, and all the good wishes and cards.

I love these cups! I will try to make one more, so I can maximize my chances to be a lucky winner, but I wanted to post what I’d finished so far.  I added a saucer to the cup I’d submitted early for the virtual quilt, because it looked too strange without one. I have to admit that I stopped sewing with the wonky method, after lots of mistakes and wasted fabric (why is wonky so difficult?) and found a paper-pieced pattern on the...

This is a fun pattern! I’ll make more, if I find the time, but I wanted to get these in now just in case I don’t get to it. Thanks again Sophie for the terrific...

Here are the 2 house blocks I managed to make. I love this block, and am using it for a group baby quilt that I’m organizing for a friend who’s due in October. Great idea,...

I think she’s really going to love it!   I had a lot of wonderful blocks left over, so I included some of them on the back of the quilt, along with some flowery...

I love these...

Here are the 4 blocks I’ve made so far for April. I used two different color strips to cut across the blocks. I see that nobody else did this, so if that continues to be the trend I could adjust these so the cross-strips are the same color in each block pretty easily.  ...

I’d already cut this fabric, so I made myself sew 2 more blocks together right before the deadline. I’m up to 6 blocks now. Woo hoo!...

Here are two more blocks from me, bringing me up to a grand total of 4 this month. These are great—I will try to make more if I get a...

My heart blocks are winging their way to Debra in Texas. Congratulations!

Here are two scrappy triangle blocks I made for the sneak peak—Sophie did you forget...
