I posted the block on Friday – you should see it in a week or two.

I mailed my sunshine block to Julie P yesterday – sure do miss it on my design wall.  Might have to make myself one.  Can’t wait to see what you all make with them.  Kathleen

I took Julie’s sunrise blocks to the post office yesterday. With the holiday, I don’t know when they’ll get there, but soon. I meant to put a congratulations note in, but was rushing to the post office before it closed. I’ve never been this jealous of a BL winner!! Really interesting block and great color combinations. Enjoy!

I just dropped off an envelope headed to New Zealand.  It is coming from Utah.  Happy Traveling little blocks!

Besides an inaccurate 1/4 inch...

Hopefully this one made it in time.  I now have all 6 done.  Yay!  ...

Hope this one made it in.  This makes 5 total for...

I managed to put 2 more sunrise blocks together just in time. The first one I did was at the very beginning of the month. I was worried that there would be no others this month. I’m glad to see so many last-minute entries these past few days. My first block was all machine done, the second was all hand done, and the third was a combination of both. I found the hand-piecing a real challenge – it’s not my forte. However, it...

The colors are much better in reality. Sometimes taking photos like that is difficult. Happy to have it finally done. I did one with the sneak peek instructions but just didn’t think it was good enough for Block Lotto. This one is not perfect either but better. Much. I found it to be a difficult block. It was those two curves. It was my first paper-piecing and I actually liked it very much. I am glad I had a reason to try...

It’s been a crazy month. I had the pieces to hand sew cut weeks ago but couldn’t figure out how to arrange them…..so I did the paper piecing method. I am posting this from my iPad so hopefully the image posted ok. Helen Nashville, TN
