Catching Up With Old MacDonald


With all that's been going on here I had fallen behind with my Old MacDonald Mystery Sampler blocks  - a fun Block Lotto mystery sampler designed by Sophie.   

I think I'm now caught up.   These are the alternate July Spikey Blocks I'm using in my sampler because  I just couldn't seem to get the hang of the curved ones...


...even though I tried them (and sent them to the July Lotto winner). 


Split Nine Patches  - They were the August Block Lotto block.  
They are my Purple Mountain Majesties for the sampler. 




As are these on sky background. 

As a side note...I won 48 of these Lotto Blocks! 


In September our Old MacDonald Sampler needs two barn doors.  Here's mine. 


And here's my 9 September Barn Door Blocks to enter into the drawing. Maybe I'll win two months in a row? Or not! (I love these!)

Really really like your spikey block alternates. Congrats for winning those split 9-patches - they'll make a wonderful quilt. And you have your barn doors made already - wow!!

Your spikey leaf variety is great. Fun colors throughout your projects. Thanks for the eye candy!

Yea! So happy that you won! I need to get making my Barn Door blocks!

Hurray for your win! (I'm already looking forward to seeing your quilt using those blocks!)
Barn Door would make a good RSC block, wouldn't it? Hmmm...

Beautiful, colorful, blocks, super.

I like your spikes - very striking - and love those barn door blocks, especially the two you are keeping for yourself.

I tried the spike blocks and failed. (Sophie says "no guilt," but I do like to be a good sport.) Your alternate looks much easier. I know you made the Mod-Mod sampler a couple of years ago -- good for you for making Old MacD! I know you'll come up with a nifty setting for the Purple Mountain blocks.
