So congratulations to all the winners.... your blocks will be on their way back to you on Monday or Tuesday (we're supposed to get more snow!) Will send your tracking numbers to you by PM when I have them.

Thank you again to all of you ---- it sure made my first Lotto a LOT of fun


Bet you are all surprised to see the February Lotto started by ME!

Am helping Teresa out a bit, and for now, I'll be doing every OTHER month. So February is my turn!

While going through a few of my tote boxes of fabric from storage, I can across one whole box full of pre cut 2.5" strips and got to thinkin' about how to use them up. So here's what I came up with.

All my QIAD books are still packed away, so I did a little search on Pinterest and found this easy block

SO easy..

https://mypatchwork.wordpress.com/2015/ ... gle-block/[/url] (oopppss sorry the link didn't work. I'll try again)

So gather up your strips and see what you can put together. The ones I made squared up very easily to 10.5" (NOTE this is a change from what I had previously said about being 9.5") I'd like to see each block be a different color-way.. like all blue, all pinks, etc, like my sample ones.

I'm copy/pasting the usual Lotto info from Teresa below.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO JOIN??
*IT IS FUN!!
*Never any pressure. The choice is always yours as to how many blocks you have time to make and we know life gets in the way sometimes.
*It is a great place to practice and get ready for joining a Swap.
*It is FUN TO WIN and/or see a PAL WIN and be able to WIN.
*If you make a block to keep you could have a Sampler Quilt at the end of the year



WHAT YOU WILL NEED: 2.5" strips
BACKGROUND: not really needed
Solids ok, but minimally
No heavy glitter.

BEFORE MAILING - - -
* Pin or Stitch Address Label to the FRONT Corner of each block
* Place ALL blocks in ONE LARGE BAGGIE.
* PLEASE add $2-$3 to help with Shipping to the WINNERs

WAYS to RECEIVE your WINNING tickets ...
* 1 ticket = Let me know you are interested
* 1 ticket = Post a picture of your BLOCK

I will try this Mary and see what I come up with. Not really a "scrappy" person, but looks fun. Some interesting items on the website also.

I found this same pattern on YouTube also:

OOPS......that wasn't the same block Mary has chosen for us.

I'm in. That looks fun and easy. Lori

You know I am in Mary Thanks for helping me out. I know your first month will be AWESOME!!!!!

Count me in LOL Looks easy lol

MARY, this is too tempting! A new technique for a unique new block. At least all new to me! I'm in! Now all I have to do is find a machine to sew on! lol! Mine is in the trunk of my car at the moment, awaiting a spa week.

I may try this. I think we are having a sew night (my usual monthly one) the first week of Feb. I may be able to get enough supplies out of boxes. Tentatively put my name down.

beautiful blocks!

Since I will be home for the month of February, count me in. Please Pm your address, Maryq.
