I already shared the Star Chain blocks I’ve made for my samplers in this post.  Here’s my collection of blocks for two quilts. I happened to have an empty design wall, so I couldn’t resist arranging them as they will be the in the quilts. The understated queen size now has a bit of aqua:   And the mystery colored throw made as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge with blocks made from shades of  blues, pinks and teals...

Greetings! As a newbie at Block Lotto, I am learning the ins and outs of posting/ sharing. So after seeing someone post the first module, I assembled three to share. My Mod Mod QAL blocks are made from my fabric  stash. I have resolved NOT to buy fabric. So this will definitely be a scrappy quilt....

Here’s my first Module completed. I think its really interesting to see everyone’s color choices for their quilts. They are all so...

I want to make the sampler this year and practice mod piecing and colorways, but I’m short of time these days, so I’m keeping this one. If things settle down, I’ll try to do another one to add to the numbers. It was an easy block, Sophie. Your directions are...

I made the star chain blocks for my MOD MOD QAL queen-sized quilt.   Blocks are all made from scraps in complementary colors.  If the block takes more than 2 colors then I’m using black for a third color. I don’t have a design wall so pinned a paper to the modules to designate row and column placement of modules in the overall quilt so I don’t forget what I’m doing as months go by.  (Well, I might just forget anyway and...

I’m going to find it hard to wait for each month’s blocks to come out so that I can continue with my Mod-Mod throw.  I love this month’s blocks.  Thanks Sophie. Kathie...

  I’d love some input here from those with experience-  do you feel the cream TOT as background will make this too bright and in your face?  Do you think a darker background would work better ie. a cardboardy tone beige? My Fabrics are pretty bright. I want to start sewing and I really need to get cutting but, I am not experienced and I am hesitating here…sometimes that is a red flag for me so I thought I’d put it out...

It feels a little like a Bead (block) Factory in my sewing room lately. Here are my 27 Bead-on-a-String blocks for the Block Lotto and two Mod-Mod samplers.     Most were made using the 6-minute circle technique … though I can’t say I finished any of them in 6 minutes, it definitely got faster/easier as I made them. Most of the bead blocks will be adjacent to a double chevron block in the quilt.  Here’s how my...

I have my 13 bead blocks made for the Full/Queen sized Mod Mod QAL.  I needed 4 strings of 3 beads plus a single bead.  I’m using scraps and making blocks in complementary colors.   I think this will be one wild quilt! It is so loud it may keep someone awake at night. Cathy L in IA Sane, Crazy, Crumby Quilting http://saneandcrazy.blogspot.com/...

I’m so glad Sophie is offering a year of blocks that will combine to make a great quilt.  Heaven knows I’ve got enough fabric around to use.  Here are my January chevron blocks, in the scrappy style that I’ll use.  My plan is to make a throw-sized quilt....

this is my tentative fabric selection for the mod mod qal.  I’m thinking of the throw size.  My son and DIL like neutrals, so I hope this will work.  I may need an accent color; perhaps a dull mustard...

  Chevrons for MOD MOD QAL I’ll make queen sized. Blocks will be made of scraps in complementary colors.  I suppose it will be pretty wild when all is said and done. Cathy L in IA Sane, Crazy, Crumby Quilting http://saneandcrazy.blogspot.com/...
