One for Donation
When I made this month’s block for the Sneak Peek I was afraid that, though it looked fine, it wouldn’t “measure up”. Literally – that it wouldn’t be the right size.

Scrap-ifying the Star Chain Block
When I made my blocks for the lotto, I started thinking about making a quilt from these blocks in scrappy greens which led me to start thinking about the ways to make the block scrappy. The easiest, most straightforward approach would be to cut the background fabrics from different greens. You could also make it more scrappy by making the large 4 1/2 by 6 1/2-inch rectangles from two or more pieces. You could look at the block differently and...
