** Pay attention to your
** MAKE A PRACTICE BLOCK - 1/4" seam allowances really matter

This month we are stepping BRIGHTLY into the beginning of Summer.
*** Merry-Go-Round, Ice Cream Cone, Cyclone and Cracker Jack(for the 3 line center use one piece of fabric. Make them 6.5" and put 4 together for a pretty block. All from El's free Patterns.
*** PLUS: Pick any PIECED or APPLIQUED (use blanket stitch and fill at least 2/3's of block. Show off those BRIGHTs) block that has BIG spaces for FUN Fabrics. If you do a snowball use different colors for the corners, make them 6.5" and put together for a FUN block.

Love. Love love. May Lotto

What a great idea for a summer fun quilt

Just so happens I stocked up on Kona Cotton the other day.


You know I’m in


Come on girls. This will be FUN

My head is turning. Didn't it say something about sets of a 12.5" block and a couple 6.5" blocks, and some rectangles, too? Did you decide to simplify it to all 12.5" blocks? This sounds like fun. I have to go shopping. No kona white. I usually rock with WOW's. What a hardship. This will be fun. I will have to dig out some bright fat quarters to play with. Thanks, Teresa!

I am so sorry to turn your head Pam. Yes I decided to simplying it for this month. Who know what the future holds What a hardship to go shopping. Even I have to do some but I plan on having FUN, FUN, FUN!!!
It will make going to the foot Dr. feel so much better!!

Mary - Happy you Love, Love, Love this month. I am looking forward to seeing all the different blocks that will be made. Thrilled you stocked up on Kona

Teresa:

I have to skip this month. I will be gone most of the month visiting family and will not be close to a machine and my stash. Besides, I have to let someone else win as I have won the last two lottos! Gotta share the joy. Have fun.
