Between PQ season 13 challenges I try to catch up on a few things.

I have so so so much black and white fabric so tried to make a cute little homey wall hanging with it but it was pretty washed out..until I added some scrappy hst to the borders.  Then I decided to make a few block lotto blocks for another guild because....well because they are just so darn cute!  Look ...here comes the chickens!

Block options were 12.5, 6.5 squares or 12.5 x 6.5. The result of the blocks turned in at each monthly meeting was wonderful.   We were able to make this Medallion style quilt 84". 84", a row by row style quilt 84" x 90", a lap sized throw 48" x 60" and a wall hanging 24" x 24".  Fabric of said colors were donated to piece together the backing and use any leftover blocks that may be left.  This one was quilted by a former member Sonya Nelsen on her longarm. I love the texture it created in this busy quilt.  The row by row style ...
