Here are my 6 blocks — I had never made this pattern before and I really enjoyed it. Great instructions,...

Have to say I really don’t like the new wordpress system — it’s taken a long time to figure out how to get my photo into the post… not intuitive at all! (for those who haven’t tried, the option to add a photo shows up as a little toolbar at the bottom of the post, but only if you happen to (accidentally, in my case) move your cursor to the bottom of your screen.) and, I may have accidentally set my photo as the...

I’m back from a road trip (to Yellowstone! and The Badlands!) and my blocks will go to the PO to Cathy tomorrow. Julie

“first thing in the morning” sort of got away from me… sorry! There were 80 blocks in August — so 40 will go to each of the winners: Nann Cathy K   Congratulations!  I hope you enjoy your blocks.

Please check my list, here: http://www.blocklotto.com/2018/08/august-blocks-tally-sheet/ and make sure that I didn’t miss your blocks or make a mistake in the number.  (Note that there are 2 Lindas — one without an initial — and a whole bunch of Cathy/Kathy/etc. variations!) There’s still a little time to post your blocks — I’ll plan to do the drawing early Saturday morning, PDT. Thanks,...

Hi! I’m Julie, and this month we’re going to do a really easy block that can use up some of those warm summer colors you have in your scrap bin or stash closet. It’s a basic 16-patch block made with a bunch of 2 ½” squares, in the colors of California poppies – because I live in California. The block is 8” finished or 8 ½” unfinished. You may make as many as 9. These poppies are our state flower. The traditional ones are either orange or...

Here are my 4 blocks for March. Julie...
