******************************
Hello everyone - Please let me apologize for being off in the choosing of how many winners have been picked in the past months vs blocks sent in. I hope you will give the Lotto and my better decision making another chance and join us for some FUN!! The Lotto is a great place to practice making old and new blocks with the hopes of Winning enough blocks for a Lap Quilt after you add borders and/or sashings. Please feel free to give me your feed back as I strive to make this a FUN place for everyone.
THANK YOU. I look forward to seeing more of you this month.

Welcome everyone to our PATRIOTIC Month. A time when we stitch some blocks to share how you celebrate your FUN and FESTIVITES of the 4th of July so dig through your stash for some Red, Whites and Blue's and let's have some FUN making EL's Birthday Block - "WITH a TWIST"!!!
The twist is using Red's (left) and Blue's (right) in your FG so it looks like a Friendship Block.
I am also giving you the option on how you want your 6.5" center Square to look like. Do you have food, fireworks, words, streamers, flowers, kites, balloons, toys, etc fabrics? You could also choose a 4-patch, Star, Snowball, Friendship, OR a dog, cat, food, fireworks. Anything that you would have near you on the 4th of July
etc ... LET THE FUN BEGIN!!!!
Please as always strive to work on your points and your 1/4" seams on the edges of your block.
