Quilt Guild Block of the Month & 2 BOW pictures

It's a New Year at Quilt Guild and we are making the final Alphabet Blocks for our Block Lotto.

Here is the "W" Block

"Wild Duck"

 HERE's the Link for the pattern, I reversed the dark and light for my block

The light green fabric is from Thread and Bolts quilt shop this time.
My story/Demo board for guild with the block parts.  

There were 15 blocks made (13 shown)

Guess who WON again??   Little ol' me

I heard some of the members after the meeting say that they really wanted to WIN this time.

I thought quickly and said, "I'm thinking of a Number between 1- 25"

Sherry M , our New Vice President picked the correct Number- 15

The number I won the blocks with and the DATE of my Birthday this week.

I could have kept them, but I already have a Red & White Quilt or 2 in my collection.

One of the previous Block of the Month quilts showed up during our Show & Share.

The story goes that Maggie (in pic) told Pat C that she liked the blocks she just won last August
- so Pat gave them to her.  This quilt will go to our Baby Quilt Charity.

I love seeing the quilt made from the winning Blocks.

We have a Quilts of Valor Sew-IN Day coming up in February.

All over there will be quilters making quilts on February 7th.

Shown are a few of the blocks we will be making that day.

Ideas presented to the group tonight were a "Round or Block Robin" and a "Scrap it Forward"
The Scrap it Forward has my attention.  You'll be hearing more about it later.

I had fun using my Set 'E' Marti Michell templates to make this block. 

I pressed the heck out of it and scorched the corner, hope it washes out.

I see I should have used 3 fabrics, oh well...

My #50 of the 140 I need to make. 

90 left to go.

The Downton Abbey quilt blocks are done and I'm ready for next week.

I chose to meet both the Lord and Lady Grantham.

 Earl's Pipe &Cora's Tiara blocks (2 of each)

Blocks from Week 1 & 2

I wonder what adventures Ebony has in store for us this week???

 She is giving us a choice of paths to take with each clue given.
