Making Blocks

Our quilt guild has a monthly block lotto of sorts.  It's my job (I bugged the President until she gave it to me...ha) to choose each month's block and make a sample.

I've never won a set of blocks yet...probably because I don't ever make any additional blocks besides that first one.

At August's meeting, there will be two chances to win! Since we didn't have a guild meeting in July, we will draw for July's blocks AND August's blocks.  I don't think my chances are very good...made two blocks for July and only one block for August.

Maybe I'll have better luck in September....hmm...probably not.  I am off to a great start, however, and I really like the theme, so who knows.  It wouldn't be a bad way to put a dent in my pile of Christmas fabric, either.

I made these two sample blocks and have plans for several more.  I just ran out of time.  Pinterest really helped me gather ideas for this Funky Holiday Tree theme, and I created a special board for BOM ideas.  



Someone planted the seed in my head about making an annual Sampler of OMQG BOMs.  I like that idea!!!  Of course since I haven't won any, I'll need to go back and make past blocks, but in the future I'll make an extra block to keep ;-)

Have an amazing day!!!!
