An Egg-cellent Block Lotto!

Well November is here, and it’s time once again for the always popular chicken block lotto. This has become a tradition for the Mad Mod Quilt Guild, and it always brings out the competitive nature in many of our members! Originally posted on Quilty Love , It was designed by Vicki at Sew Inspired and there is a free tutorial from the designers website. You can find the tutorial HERE. It’s important to note that this block ends up 7″ x […]

This Way or That!

Hello Mad Mod Quilters! Here is the block lotto I shared at our last meeting in October. Remember, we are building off of the “Sunflower Fiasco” this summer after Craftsy removed their free pattern. If you were one of the lucky few who were able to access the pattern and then make it, you can enter those blocks in this months block lotto. This block lotto is using the same color palette, but you have […]

Here comes the Sun!

So last month’s block lotto was berry, berry successful! By the time all was said and done we had 59 blocks, and the winner was Betty Slinger. Congrats Betty. We can’t wait to see how you jam these all together into a quilt! This month we are going to pay homage to summer again, with one of the favorite flowers of the season, the sunflower! We are going to keep things scrappy again this month, […]

Ch-ch-chaaaaaain, Chain of…

For the June meeting, our Block Lotto block will be the fun and dynamic Chain Link Block. The block comes together pretty quickly, and can efficiently chain pieced! We will be using up our remaining stash of Bella Solid Off White and Quotation Mark Plus – Ink which we have used in our previous two block lottos. This is a big block and it will finish at 14″ x 14″. The instructions this month come […]

This is a BIG PLUS!

Hello Quilters! It’s spring, and I think we need something fresh, bright and bold! I was inspired by a few quilts I saw online and decided to draft this up. For this block (and the next two), we will be using two required fabrics. The first is Bella Solids Off White, and the second is Moda Quotation Plus in Ink. Both of these are available from Blue Bar Quilts. I’m not going to tell you […]

Inside and Out!

Greetings from inside! That’s kind of odd to say because I never really post these things when I’m outside, but for those of us here in Wisconsin outside isn’t really even an option right now! THIS is quilt weather folks, and I for one have been under one or had one really close by for about a week now. The block lotto for this month is one I am calling Inside and Out. I was […]

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things!

Well it seems the gloves once again came off for the Chicken Block Lotto, and a new champion has been crowned. So let’s put aside any hurt feelings, bruised egos or shattered dreams of sleeping under a chicken quilt and let’s put on our mittens…it is winter after all! The January block lotto is brought to us by the amazing talents of Lorna McMahon. You may be familiar with her blog, Sew Fresh Quilts, and […]

Oh No-vember You Didn’t?!?

Oh yes I did! Who had the chicken block on their 2020 Bingo card? This is hands down the most talked about quilt block lotto ever! Originally debuting in 2018 for the November meeting, Trish Franklin laid this lotto down both declaring her love of chickens and setting into motion a chain of events few could have seen coming. I know it may bring up some difficult feelings for some of you, but it’s just […]

It’s BL-OCTOBER Lotto!

Hi Friends! Thanks for hanging with me during these strangest of days. I have put together a block lotto for October! Included is an instruction sheet for what I hope is a fast fun block for you. Additionally, please get scrappy with this one. As the sheet explains, I chose the size to help you use up any jelly roll leftovers along with other things in your stash. Once you have made your block or […]
