2015 March Block Lotto

11 years ago
last modified: 11 years ago

Welcome to the March Block
Lotto!

The lotto is open to all, and new
quilters are encouraged to participate. You will learn much and have
fun doing it. Typically, the winner receives enough blocks to
complete a nice size quilt. It could be YOU!

Here's the drill:

- you can send 1, 2 or 3 blocks

- all blocks must measure 12.5inches x
12.5inches with no more than 1/4" variation please. With your
blocks include name, mailing address, forum name and $1 to cover
postage for the winning blocks

- if possible, either attach your name
to the back of each block or write your name in the seam allowance
with a fabric pen so the winner knows who made the block (this is not
a requirement, just a request)

- all blocks received by the
last day of the month will be included in the lotto drawing

- you will have 1, 2 or 3 chances to
win, depending on how many blocks you've sent in.

Blocks are to be mailed to Linda. She
will arrange the collection and dispersal to the winner. If you need
her mailing address, you may request it by sending her a message at
linda at schultz-assoc.com

MARCH Friendship Star 12-1/2" - black and white print / white / bright center. B&W
print should be on the dark side for a good value difference.

Here is a link to three sample blocks and link to the pattern.

    This is the collection that is already forming. This should be a great quilt.

    Three blocks came from Smyrna, GA, with no name. Can she send me a msg so I know who she is in case she wins? Thanks.

    Yay!! I'm glad you got this posted, toolgranny. and those are some awesome blocks, too! Working on mine today; it's raining and chilly here in East Central Florida. There couldn't be a better day to play with fabrics!

    Does commenting on a post bring it up to the top like it did on GW? Gonna try it........

  • 11 years ago

    LOL...yes, Sharon, it does!! I kept hoping that nobody would post on the 'other' March lotto block thread because I don't know how to delete it. It's easy to delete any comments I make, but I can't find where to actually delete that entire thread. UGH.

    Oops! I just noticed the blurb in the other March thread stating that the b&w fabric should be on the dark side. I don't think one of my blocks is dark enough (the upper rt corner with the orange center). I'll make another block with darker fabric to better fit in with the others (and whoever wins the lotto can decide what to do with the "light" block).

    Got your block, Val, and three from Nancy in Kansas. All great colors. When my life gets back to normal I'll put them all out and take a snapshot to post.

    We have a wonderful collection now. This group will make someone a very nice quilt. If anyone has more blocks in transit, let me know. We'll be drawing a name tomorrow if this is it.
