Several years ago I posted a picture of the sampler quilt where I took the the squares I won in a block lotto and added to it for a single bed size. I don't have any pics handy now, they're somewhere burnt on a CD and I can't retake them because the quilt was a gift to a relative and resides in England now. LOL. It was a red and white quilter's choice. Loved how it finished off.

hello sorry to be missing for so long, I just started a new job(my first one in almost 10 years) and I'm having a little trouble keeping up. so far I have receved blocks from...... buteau3rd/marjorie polar dream me/michelle gwen mary-c kate/k8orlando dose anyone else want to play, just one block may win you 15 or more. enough for a great quilt. just let me know if there are more comming or not michelle

Very nice. I like the boarder. I think it a challenge to have them come out even. I like the 2 colors, they work well together. TFS. Jayne

I like the Lottos every month & consistent. I think Kay set up a very nice format, easy to use and good reference, especially helpful for busy people. I like the winners choosing the future blocks. I like the parameters/rules set up to encourage quality work, pressed seams, and accurate size blocks. I like knowing the block selections by month and fabric choices ahead of time; this allows those of us who need to shop or order fabric an opportunity to be prepared. I think it is very important for the dialog to be continual and posted in order to know when blocks are sent and received by the hostess on a timely (if not daily) basis. Seeing the players and the blocks - including pictures, generate excitement and hopefully more players. I also like the Lotto open to all those who participate on the Quilting Forum, which includes those living outside of the US. I think all blocks should be free of embellishments, beads, buttons, etc so they can be quilted easily. I had chosen not to participate in the Birthday blocks for 2012, hoping to have more time to play the Block Lotto We have some new faces posting on the Quilting Forum, and the Lotto is fun to join without a huge commitment. I hope the Lotto continues in the coming year with enthusiasm & gusto. It is a thankless job for the volunteer hostess, one that takes dedication,organization, and extra time - thank you. Just my thoughts & opinions. :~)
