hello
I will sign up for 1 for now but well see what happens I may do more.
thanks I rilly like this one
michelle

I'll do one but maybe more. I love applique and this one is simple (she says who hasn't tried it yet!).

are you using the templates the size they print out on the computer?
Thanks, Mayme

I'm just penciling everyone in for now.

Mayme, I see now that you pointed it out, that it doesn't print out with a scale to make sure it's the correct size, but yes, if everyone's copy prints out to the same size, that's the size we'll use. Template A prints out 7/8" X about 4 + 7/8" for me. If anyones measurement is different, please let me know and we will try to fix it.
Thanks!
Cathy

I like this block, too. I will try for at least one. These will be nice to remind us of the coming spring.
Nancy

Cathy-

Count me in for 2 - the block looks like a great one to help us all 'think spring' :)!!

~Cindy

Do you want the green to be solid, or just read as solid? What about slightly marbled green?

Good to have you all aboard!
Thanks!
Cathy

Lola, we must of been posting at the same time.

A tone on tone or marbled green will be fine.
I'd like to stay away from green prints, but if that's all some one has, that'll be okay too.
Thanks!
Cathy

Still time to join in!
I haven't even chosen fabrics yet.
One or two birthday blocks and then I'll get started on this.
Cathy

There were postings this morning that later disappeared. So, you may have more who won't know you didn't see their post. Can't remember who that was but they might recognize themselves and re-post.

I have three blocks for you, almost done. I'm not usually ahead of things like this but it gave me something to sit and do while I was pondering my next piecing project.

hello
these were so much fun, that as usual I started and could not stop till I was finnished.
I ended up making 3 all diffrent, and this time Itried machene appliquet, and it came out great.
sorry about the typing it is wtill very early
I'll get these out to you soon
michelle

I need a hand project to work on at my small group.
Can I still join?
It's so pretty, reminds me of spring too.
If so I need your addy Cathy, Thanks, Jill

May I make a suggestion? I can see from trimming the completed blocks that it would be easy for us to each have a slightly different center since there isn't an exact number called out in the design. I "eyeballed" the center which the flower then covered but I'm afraid to trim these up.

Would it be okay if we just leave all that excess and send the 14" or so block and let the winner trim each to the exact measurement all at one time so they match? I know Michelle's might already be trimmed but then the winner could trim to hers and they'd match.

Just a thought - comments before I cut mine up I hope.

I think that is a very good idea toolgranny. I left one of my rooster appliques larger (previous Lotto) for that very reason, as I felt it gave the winner some flexibility.

I know I haven't signed up yet - it all depends on my schedule, so I hope its okay to voice my opinion :)

Linda, your wonderful flowers arrived today! Just beautiful!

I need to get busy on this! I put the pattern page on my cutting board and that's as far as I've gotten! LOL
Cathy

I got three blocks done and will send them Monday.
Nancy

I haven't signed up yet. I have a question about the size of the templates. How do I know what size they print out as? When I did the tea cups I didn't realize mine weren't the right size until I won and compared mine to everyone elses. Tara

Tara,
We noticed that it doesn't print out with a size guide (or whatever it's called).
Make sure that your printer is set to print at actual size (No scaling or shrink to fit).
Use your ruler to measure Template A (the stem). It should measure 7/8" X about 4 + 7/8".
If it doesn't you will need to enlarge or reduce as needed.
If you have any problems, let us know and we'll do what we can to help.
Cathy

Okay, that is what mine printed out as. Thanks. I'll try doing two. Tara

I'll sign up for one now & then we'll see if I have time to do more.
Kay

I printed out the template, but have a problem. Template A measures the appropriate 7/8" across, but it's 4-5/8" long, not 4-7/8". If I adjust for the length, it'll mess up the width. Any ideas?

Kay,
What you can do is make the stem a bit longer, say about 5 1/4" long and place it about a quarter inch from the
bottom edge of the background fabric. Some of the stem goes beneath the flower and so doesn't even show.

Just to be sure though, Template B (leaf) measures 4" from widest two points and 2&1/16" from top to bottom.
If your templates are within at least 1/8", I think it will be fine unless someone else knows of something that I'm overlooking...

All the flowers that have arrived are just gorgeous!
Going to make a wonderful quilt!
Cathy

I am not able to send blocks for this Lotto - I am sorry:-(
Our massive snowfall and blizzards affected my work schedule as well as my spare time. I even took a machine applique class - I was looking forward to making another applique using different thread. Sorry again....

My block has been done a while....but, I've procrastinated
& just got it in the mail today Cathy! Sorry.

Cathy,

I finished 3 blocks. I just sent you an email to get your address. I'll mail them tomorrow.

Thanks,
Lola

Okay I just sent 3 blocks by Priority mail. They should be there by Saturday!

Thanks,
Lola

Jill and Lola, your wonderful blocks arrived today.
Marsha, hope that you aren't in that storm that's just sitting there on the east coast. You've had more than your fair share of snow already!
Cathy

Thanks for the concern and understanding Cathy. We have been spared accumulating snow right where we live, but the wind is ferocious and bitter. We moved the generator where we can get to it in case we need it for the frig and heat- we lose power if Mother Nature sneezes. It has been a bad, horrible winter for us, lots of damage and business loss in the area, so I am looking forward to spring.

This was a fun looking block and it will make a nice project for the winner. Good luck everyone!
