I put another lotto block together today.  I had a little time while DH was out doing his thing.  I'll post a picture when I finish another.  I've also got a couple ideas for the challenge.  I have to think more on that.

I've seen those anvil blocks before and they do make up a great quilt.  I assume we can use prints too if they read southwest?

Are we doing them all one colored?  Or can we use more than one color per block?

Good question also!

oh, not that small.  The center square is 2", the overall block is 4.25 plus seam allowance - weird dimension because the block is essentially on point within itself.  It's weird.  It you look at it the "flying geese" portion is to the side & the center square is on point.  It gives a different look to the block, makes the star kind of more pointy looking.

Hi everyone, I’ve finally made it here.  I’m looking forward to seeing everyone again at retreat this year.  I hope you are all doing well!  I misplaced my password so unfortunately I couldn’t get in for awhile.  Thank goodness it’s all good now.  

Nice to see you found your way back. Losing passwords is always hard to get back in. I am hoping for some warm weather for this retreat. We have a blizzard warning tonight. Right now Temps in the 40's are considered warm here.

I just reloaded one of my quilts on the longarm and hopefully it will be ready for show and tell at the retreat. DH and I are driving this year so I will have a bit of room I hope.

Hi there, I’m so glad you’re back! Can’t wait to sit and visit!

Yes, you can use a SW print.  You can use more than one fabric.

It's a great block.  I have trouble seeing the flying geese.  Maybe some of the seams don't show in the picture?

if you rotate it 45 degrees, it's inside the red square I drew.  

I liked the way the star looked when it was rotated, more  "pointy"
