Should the blues read as solid or can they be prints?
Theresa

mine are prints.

Are you using a tone-on-tone for the cream, or an unbleached muslin?

I am going to try to participate this month ... gotta find that CREAM!!!

Sue

any off white would do. muslin would work but mine is a print. sorry, cant type yet.

Got it! I am shooting to finish 3 blocks. They are cut and ready to assemble.

Sue

I am giving the LOTTO a try for the first time. What is the overall size of the finished block?

it will finish 12". See link to instructions.

Thanks!!

Here they are. I must get back to sewing before I forget everything I ever knew.
Theresa

Here are my first contributions to the monthly lotto! Had fun making them this past weekend. Will deliver these to Val tomorrow.

I got 3 blocks done and will get them in the mail tomorrow.

Sue

So happy to see all the blocks! I'll be putting mine together within the week.

Here's September blocks received as of today, 9/22...don't cha just love blue and blue...so calming...
Still time to get those blocks made and mailed!
V.

I'll get mine off to you this week.

I think two of us used the same darker blue fabric. What are the odds of that?
It's a test for the rest of you to find them.....
Theresa

Congratulations, Mary. I hope you make something great out of them and then post us a picture.

Good for you, Mary. Have fun with those beautiful blocks.

First, you will just look at them and admire them. Then you will fondle them. Next you will lay them out. And then you will lay them out again. Each time, giving them a light caress.
Have fun!
Theresa

Congrats, Mary! Thanks for joining the lotto and congrats for winning!
