Congratulations Busyhands and Gramajojo!!! Hope you enjoy!

Oh my gosh!!! Thank you everyone. This is the first lotto I participated in and I was kinda iffy about my points and my blocks in general. I usually don't do swaps. I guess I am just too hard on myself. I am so excited. Thank you again.

Can not wait to get them into a quilt.

Thank you all.

Pat, if you got yours yesterday, then I should get mine today, I hope. The dog and I have been discussing what we are going to do with them. Yes, I have lots of discussions with my dog. She is my sewing helper. She pretty much agrees with whatever I want to do. I guess I just need that little reassurance that I am doing the right thing. So, she told me this morning that she hopes they come today so we can play with them tonight. (LOL) (Yes, my children think I should be committed!!)

Well, JOJO

Make room at the nuttie Ben for me too. I also talk to my dog, he is my buddie, my only son. He listens to what I say and then he just mouns . Yep what an answer.

I hope your does arrival today also, They are beautiful. I am thinking of putting the blocks with just some sashing around each so I won't have a plain block. Don't have to pay the quilter for special designs in plain ones then. What do you say?

How are you going to do yours . That is after your 4 legged family member gives you the mouning yes.
Well, got to go start up for the monthly lotto. Love the Monthly lotto.

WOO HOO!!! YIPPIE SKIPPIE!!! My blocks came today. Jasmine (my dog) must have known right away because when I came in and put the envelope on the table, without saying anything to her, she ran up and started sniffing and sniffing and sniffing and wagging her tail. So, we opened the envelope and looked at all of the wonderful blocks and of course she sniffed each one and gave it her approval before we moved on to the next one. You are a really talented bunch of ladies. I have been working on a layout for the quilt and as soon as I have it figured out, I will post a picture. Just wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you and I look forward to participating in another lotto.

I didn't know if I should post this here or over in the quilting photos so I started here. Here is the quilt top I made with the baskets. I need to get backing fabric and I thought I would use the bright pink for the binding as well. For quilting, I thought I would do large crosshatch quilting in the white background and small, close together crosshatch quilting in the baskets, going the opposite direction. What do you think?

I have to say you beat me I am trying to get my figured out in an angle. Still trying to decide what to use for sashing. white or color,or white strips and color blocks to set each one off. Still pondering it in my head.

Your quilt is beautiful by the way I like how you did yours.
