Ta da, you’re done! As always, one block = one lotto ticket, so make one, make lots!
Block is from Holly Gets Quilty, and was made for the Phoenix MQG.
Hi, there! Came across your blog accidentally. I do not get the point of "one block = one lotto ticket." Does it has anything to do with lotto like TheLotter review? P.S. The block pattern is really pleasant to look at.
Hi Eva:
At our meeting each month we demonstrate a new block in a particular colour palette. The following month anyone who made one of those blocks (or several of those blocks) puts them in a raffle. One block gets you one lottery ticket to win ALL those blocks. Sometimes we've had enough blocks to give away two quilt tops!
And you're a no reply blogger, so I hope you see this.
Hi. Thanks for reply. It must be very engaging 🙂
