Quilt in a Day Forums

Hello Everyone -
I am tickled Christmas blocks from the top of my head to the tip of my toes.
Jacque's January blocks arrived on Friday. I was so excited thinking they were Christmas when in fact they were for January. Well it seemed that her December blocks hitched a ride and arrived on Saturday. YIPPEE!!!! I was thrilled over TWICE!!!!!!! Teach me to wait one more day LOL LOL LOL!
I will mail out the blocks to the winners this week when I get all my mailings ready to go.
*************************************************************************************************************************
Happy New Year everyone. Thank you for such an outpouring of wonderfully festive blocks. These blocks have so much diversity in using them, I cant wait to see how you the winners choose to use them.
Jacque's blocks have still not arrived but she did ask that I not add her to the drawing as she won in November and wanted to share with the Winners. Jacque's you are so sweeeeeeet.

HELLO EVERYONE and a MERRY CHRISTMAS month filled with Festivities! The LOTTO is one of them!!

WOW It is hard to believe that the year is almost over BUT FIRST we need to enjoy all the Christmas Festivities - I Chose something very quick and easy. I got my inspiration from seeing this picture on the My Creative Stitches site. Winner can make it with a blue, white or any color background. This month you will PLAY with just Christmas PRINTS - YEA!!
Thank You Maryq for your awesome Sample Blocks

BLOCK: 4.5" 4-Patch blocks using 2.5" Strips (Make as many as you can or want to)
FABRIC: Christmas Prints ONLY - using as many different print fabrics as you can
Practice time - - -
*** When you iron please open the center 4-patch on the back of the block
*** Make sure you lock your seams, please
*** It is easier to match a check pattern with a print than another check. To many lines to match

Teresa, it's just the Christmas fabric 4 patch, correct? So we would have 4.5" square blocks to send in?
Tina

I'm IN!

Looks a really lovely quilt pattern!! I’ll get delving

I will need to see if I have Christmas strips, well, I know I do it's just where?

i will give this one a shot . Hopefully nothing else will happen

WELCOME EVERYONE!!!! Good to see we have a wonderfully festive start!
THANK YOU Maryq for making some very Christmassy blocks. I love your choice of fabrics!!!

As a heads-up:
I am having eye surgery today Thursday so I am not sure when I will be back to check the Lotto.
The Dr doesn't want me to strain my eyes plus he will be giving me an ointment that will make the eyes blurry. Ice for first 2 days and then warm after that.
I will have black eyes for a couple of weeks per Linda (Rose92) who also had it done years ago so I know what I am in for.
Linda - Almost finished your quilt which I am bummed about. I had high hopes I could have finished it by Dec 1st.

Hi Teresa and ladies, how exciting! a lovely Christmas lotto pattern and yummy fabrics!

I hope all goes well today for you Teresa with your operation!! We'll be thinking of you!! And speedy recovery!

I managed to put together 7 x 4 lots of these lovely 4 patches and will get them into the post tomorrow to you teresa.
Here is a picture of them...

WOW Splendid picture Jacque!!! Love the fabric and the arrangement. Perfect to show off those wonderful fabrics!!!! Wonder what my Mini block will look like Will give you a heads up when they arrive
