Quilt Guild Lotto Blocks 8-12-14

It was fun to make the block for This month's LOTTO for Guild.  

I waited almost too long to get the fabric cut to be handed out at guild.

We are up to the "R" in the Alphabet

 I chose "Ruins of Jericho" from Quilter's Cache HERE.

 I made two versions.

 I think any solid that matches this "In the Beginning" fabric could be fun in the same quilt.

Here's my Demo Board.

I took my "Row by Row" Quilt, the Tester "Flowering Lonestar", and 

M & C's "Bouquet of Friendship" for Show and Share.

Here are the Lotto Blocks turned in.
My Number was chosen two times and I said draw again.
Won by Pat C who gave them to Maggie S

 April's Lotto Winner brought her quilt top to show tonight.
I Love it!

October's Lotto Winner brought her quilt too.
She took out the striped fabric because her DH said it was Ugly.

She donated it to the Baby Quilt projects we support.

I had fun making these pieced border parts before going to Guild.
I've been putting this quilt off for a while now.
My Midnight Flight was started at the Block Party March 2013
The pattern is in Bonnie's latest book HERE
It's been way over a year in the to be finished pile.
Help me decide...
Pink inside?
EDIT: Pink is winning on the FB Poll so far.

Blue Inside?

Leave your choice in the comments please.

Getting it Done and NewFO

It's the last day of November -- Time to REPORT!

My NOVEMBER Goals were:

 1- Borders on Midnight Flight-  I have some parts pieced for the Border. One side DONE

I still have to decide which color of the MODA Swirl will be on the inside.
So I will Link-up for the last time with the Jo & Nell's Bonnie Challenge HERE.

 2- Make Pieced Sashings for ALOHA LUS - haven't work on these, much :(

 3- Block of the Week - Loyal Union Sampler - kept up with the BOW -DONE

My Blue and White Sampler is looking fun. I found a piece of blowing snow for the Block of the Week this last week of November.  We are taking December off on the Yahoo Group. 

Maybe I'll get more done on the ALOHA Loyal Union Sampler sashings.

Like I showed in my late Mid Month report, HERE. I did finish some of the October goals as well
 I got three quilts moved to the Flimsy/TBQ list. They are pictured up in the To Be Quilted TAB also.

 The oldest one is from 2009 SBS Sarah's Choice Star Swap.   

We sent a signature square with our blocks so I have these sewn together to add to the backing.

 There will be a LINKY with Pam Buda sometime after December 1st to show the Nabby's Dowry Quilts.

 I still have time to get mine quilted, LOL

And Parchezzi is ready for quilting.

 The Link-up for the NewFO is HERE

November's NewFO was my Lori Holt SAL with her NEW Book Quilty Fun!

All parts of this SAL are completed and on the group Flicker page so 

I am eligible for the Prize of the Gracie Girl Stacker.

AND for December I've already started my NewFO--- along with a Multitude of BONNIE HUNTER Quiltville fans all over the world sewing this week-end instead of Black Friday Shopping.

I'm doing scrappy Blues with a red fabric from Nancy Halvorsen called Bittersweet.  

There will be more of these units to show on MONDAY for DWM and the Link-up over at Quiltville.

DECEMBER GOALS- 

1- Work on Celtic Solstice 

2- Make the Weekly parts for the Quilty Fun SAL

3- Guild Block of the Month - Lotto- 

That's all I'm committing to for this month.  It getting busier and I have to have time to wrap gifts and decorate and cook some goodies.

 1- Borders on Midnight Flight-  I have some parts pieced for the Border.

 2- Make Pieced Sashings for ALOHA LUS - haven't work on these, much

 3- Block of the Week - Loyal Union Sampler - kept up with the BOW 

 My Loyal Union Sampler Blocks for November so far

I have worked on some of last month's goals as well---

1- Parcheezi- to flimsy- [almost there] Trimmed and ready to sew to flimsy - Borders cut

2- Midnight Flight Blocks, sew 3 more blocks- Flimsy - Pieced Borders worked on.

3- Nabby's Dowry - Flimsy - Borders cut

4- Sept NewFO- ALOHA LUS - blocks are DONE

5- SBS Star Swap - Need's final border-Flimsy- Borders and Binding Cut

I took a day to go and cut out the parts I needed for the Borders of the Parcheezi, SBS Sarah Choice Swap and the Nabby's Dowry. Sewing these 3 quilts to Flimsy will go quickly now. 

I cut Binding while I was at it.

The Midnight Flight Border pieces were troublesome at first. 

 The one on the left is CORRECT...

  I wasn't sure how I had the 4-patch aligned for the finished piece.  

Luckily they are all going in the same direction, so I'm going with them going this way. 
 I could still change and put the blue to the outside.

My Lori Holt Quilty Fun SAL is my NewFO for November.  I've kept up with it also.
