Do you know about Block Lotto?
Sophie of Sophie Junction is the creative lady behind it all.
This month's block is a six inch violet block - one of her old favorites.
I've made 9 blocks which means I have 9 chances to win a set of 48 blocks.
I also made 11 violet blocks for my Old MacDonald Mystery Sampler Quilt Along.
So far the sampler has Birds in the Air blocks, Snail Trail blocks and now Violet blocks. Since it's a mystery only a little of the layout (not like above which is just random) gets revealed each month. So far we have a little sky and a little ground cover. What will be next?
Oh, and did I mention that sometimes you can win a set of blocks? I was one of several lucky winners of 50 Birds in the Air blocks in January. So far I've received 47 and have decided on a layout...but first I have to make more. Another quilt to add to the UFO list! And believe it or not I already have a Birds in the Air UFO - birds of a different color (hand dyed solids) and background (navy). Mind you, I'm not complaining.
Maybe I'll win some violets. You don't win if you don't play!

Your sampler blocks are so VIBRANT -- I know it's going to be a great quilt. Thanks for your kind words about me and the Block Lotto. It's kind of amazing that it (and I) have survived 14 years ... solely by word of mouth.
You are are the queen of block quilts! Love seeing what you end up doing with all your different block sets.:)
Your violets are gorgeous. I need to cut mine out .....
Sweet Violets, sweeter than all the roses! Lots of bright happy blocks, nice work!
Congrats on your win! I'm looking forward to birdie quilts!
You blocks for the mystery sampler are beautiful. I keep being tempted...
I'm making three violet blocks, I hope you win!
Your blocks look great! I am in the process of making my blocks for both the lotto and the sampler.
