Over at
Block Lotto there is a monthly block for December (which I don't remember there being in previous years..? Maybe I just need more coffee) & there is an extra
leftovers lotto. In brief, any block that has ever been lottoed pattern-wise, your choice fabric-wise. In my case & I am guessing more than one or two other Block Lotto regulars, I often made doubles of blocks, but because they were in the exact same colorway (fabricway), they were not lotto eligible. Here are three of them:
These plaid plaids were made for the
April 2012 lotto. I envisioned making myself a quilt top of these extras; I really liked the way they looked....I really did not enjoy making them. I don't even know what I didn't like, but I found these in a bag with the directions & NO! handwritten across the top of the page. Maybe I need to revisit them, just so I can be more specific. Maybe not.
I added these to the lotto because I really wouldn't mind winning some random blocks. I am on a fabric book kick à la
Gwen Marston. It is what I plan to do with those first
Rainbow Connection blocks. Not that I cannot make more of my own, but there I something so appealing about other people's duds.
Now I just need to pull out those bags of someday quilt tops & count out just how many extra blocks I have. Because I know I have an easy dozen extras of the
March 2011 block, in a variety of well, variations.
