I'm in a block exchange again.
My blocks are called Maple Star.
My 12 Electric Fan blocks.
I needed to make one more 6 inch block for my layout and I added some red to the corners of one of the other blocks.
We made 12 inch star blocks and a 6 inch block that could be any block we wanted. Our exchange blocks are all red and white. I'm adding this blue fabric. There was some discussion on the "rules" for the quilts.
Were they ONLY red and white quilts? Several people said they had already started adding another color, me included. In the end it was decided that they were our blocks now and we could do anything we wanted with them. It will be fun to see how they all turn out.
Last morning to get January's Block Lotto blocks posted. This year all the blocks will be 6 inch blocks. There is a mystery sampler too. I decided to participate. Sophie dubbed it old McDonald. The name alone made me want to do it.
I went scrappy with mine. We needed 6.
Two of my sisters came down for Christmas. We went painting and made snowmen. They could be personalized to what ever team we chose. Jane and I did the Minnesota Vikings. Jenny didn't do a team. She took hers home to finish. She wanted leopard spots on her scarf and hat.
And I won!
These are the wonky strip blocks from December at Block Lotto. The majority of them have arrived! I'm thinking they will be laid out in horizontal rows, as I can't think of anything better right now and I like this. The fabric between the block will be a bright green. Sort of a lime color.
We are in a BLIZZARD watch. Not a storm, but blizzard. It is expected Tuesday.

I love those Block Lotto blocks. They look time consuming, but they are beautiful! The snowmen paintings are so fun......each one is so unique. I love that blue with your red and white blocks...... very petty. And your wonky strips are so fun. Love that you are going to use a bright green with them!
I am in on the Old MacDonald sampler from Sophie, too -- finished my scrappy birds in the air and am now debating the snail trail colors. Likely not going to be browns ... LOVE Those willing strips you have.
Did you see that I won Birds in the Air blocks this month? I am so pumped!! Think of you often as your "I dream of a day when chickens can cross the road..." postcard is still on my fridge. Great conversation starter, those few times folks actually make the trek all the way to my house. Hope you are well!
Lucky you! Congrats on the Block Lotto win! The scrappy strips looks great. Your other blocks look great too. You've been busy!
Criminilly!!! When do you sleep? Look at all those great quilty things! I love your Tula Pink layout. I'm working on the sashing of mine. My blockswapper is at Jan's for quilting. The 2nd time I've had someone do my quilting ever. You have a nice puppy. Take care & say hi to Karen for me.
