These blocks were received from Val.






Here are the three blocks that I made for the March lottery on the yahoo block lottery group. The pattern is called Double Nine Patch and they are 18" square. The fabrics we had to use were white on white background with pastel or spring colors for the nine patches. Guess what? I won the lottery for the month and received seven more of these blocks which makes 10 altogether. Since I won, I got to choose the block pattern for April. I chose the "Baby Bud" 12" block from Quilterscache.com. Any color fabrics can be used.

DONE! I finally finished the blue and yellow bowtie quilt top. It turned out just as I had envisioned it. I really like blue and yellow together. What a great combo for a baby quilt that could go to either a girl or a boy. Ignore the incorrect date on the photos. I have an old digital camera and everytime you replace the batteries, the date resets. It is too much trouble to correct it each time. GRRRR!


Here are the lottery blocks for February. The pattern is called Pleasant path and the colors were pale yellow and purple. The colors did not turn out very well in these photos. The yellow is a pale but true yellow and are not as beige or washed out looking as they seem in the pictures.


I am not doing too well on my New Year's resolution to update my blog more frequently. I made two blocks for the Yahoo! block lottery group in January. The guidelines were 12" bowtie blocks using bright fabrics for the bowties and black on black fabric for the back ground.

Tomorrow I will start on my next UFO. It will be a yellow, blue, and white bowtie quilt. The 4 " bowtie blocks will be yellow and white. There will be 7 rows of 6 bowtie blocks. They will be surrounded by a blue border. I was inspired to make this because of a quilt I saw on Webshots. Here is a photo of the progress I've made so far. I have 12 bowtie blocks done.





It's the eleventh day of 2008 and I am behind in one of my resolutions. This year I am really going to concentrate on finishing all of my quilting and sewing UFO's (Un-Finished Objects). I also am going to post to my blog more often. Today I did finish a pillowcase made with Batman - The Dark Knight fabric.
