February Lotto- - -And the Winners are!!

This block is so much fun! Here are my first 2. It's early, so I will probably have more. The fabric that looks like aqua is really a cream print batik......not sure why it photographed like that.

I'm thinking about trying this. I bought a few fat quarters in purples. I hope that's Ok. I probably won't get back up to the house and my stash, so will only have one color.

Just making sure I understand, you would prefer a block be same color strips, like various fabrics of red for a block, right?

I better get busy with this. I just found out this morning that my sister and brother-in-law will arrive in a week for an extended stay with us because of my brother’s surgery. So sewing time is going to be limited pretty soon

Before I start cutting any fabric, I want to clarify in my mind that each block should be in various fabrics of the same color like pink. Or another block might be all in yellows. Or the third block might be in shades of purple. Am I correct?

I Think this is such an intriguing block. Thanks, Mary choosing it for us

CLARIFICATION!!!

Ok girls, with a little help from my friends (Lyn and Velda) I've discovered that the blocks will really square up to 10. 5" NOT 9.5"

I think what happened was that when I made the first sample block, it turned out a little wocky and didn't quite make 10.5, so I trimmed to 9.5 BUT when I did another one this afternoon, it came out perfectly squarable to 10.5.

If you have made some already that came out to 9.5, don't worry, if you want to send those, I'll just make different sets for 9.5 and 10.5, so the winner(s) will get a set of all the same size blocks.

And yes, what I would like to see is each block the same colors, like the ones in my sample blocks. That was it can still be scrappy but with some sort of rhyme and reason to the colors. Does that make sense?

PM me if you have any questions.
Thanks

Teresa used to remind us NOT to square up before we mail. She always wanted to leave it up to the winner to square them to their preference.
Thanks Mary for clarifying the details.

Thanks, Mary, for the clarifications. And also to Velda for the reminder to not square up our blocks. After packaging, flying, and storing in my UFO box for who knows how long, I find blocks can ravel and end up being too small by the time I get to them.

My sister's visit is being postponed for a month. She was coming for our brother's surgery and now that's not until March 8th. So, once we finish with our painting and wallpaper project (hopefully within next couple days!) I will have plenty of time sew again!! I got out my little travel Janome and I've already pulled some fabrics!

[QuiltGram8]

Three blocks from me. Just using what fabrics I have on hand.

Linda I love the way your blocks look like candy wrappers. Great fabric choices

Velda you are so sweet to remember what I taught you. Makes me a proud teacher. I love your fabric choices!!! I will see if I have fabrics that will go lovely with yours.

Fingers crossed. I would love to win these
