When you see Zippy, you already know it’s because I’ve sent out the mailing list to everyone who made blocks. In January, 26 quilters made 158 blocks. A great start for this year. When I was sending out the list this morning, I thought about how one of our winners likes to put lotto blocks into on-point settings-maybe something like this. Congrats again to Barb P, Elizabeth and...

Nann reached out to let me know that there was a mistake in the cutting directions and that the 1 x 3 1/2 inch rectangle should be 1 x 3 inches.  Thanks, Nann! I have updated the link in the original post.  If you have already downloaded the directions, please delete that one and download the corrected directions: Fireball Block Directions – CORRECTED...

We’re beginning a year of 6-inch blocks in 2019 with this uneven log cabin block I called Fireball. The fabric guidelines are below and included in the print-friendly  block directions. I have included directions for traditional piecing and a foundation pattern for those who prefer paper foundation piecing.

Thank you all for bearing with the corrections to the instructions for the November Nine-Patch Stars. 46 blocks were posted which means that two lucky winners will receive 23 blocks each. And those winners are . . . MARCIA and TERESA!  Congratulations to you both.  Stay tuned for Sophie’s mailing instructions.  

We had 73 blocks made, 52 entered in the drawing, , so enough for two winners, selected by random number generator: KAREN  B wins 37  blocks, and ROBIN wins 36 blocks. Congratulations to everyone for beautiful work, and participating. Watch your email for Sophie’s mailing directions.  Winners, probably a good idea to email Sophie with your latest mailing address.  

We will be determining the winners this afternoon, so double check that your blocks are correctly posted in number and whether you are entering or donating.  I am showing 75 total blocks posted as of this morning, with 19 donated, so I think we will have at least 2 winners! The totals are updated in the October 9 post. Linda from Dallas
