This is to all the members who are participating in the 6" block lotto -- except BlueRibbonToes (LOL):
While driving home tonight I was thinking about how much fun the 6" block lotto is and what a great job BlueRibbonToes has done to start and organize it, along with the Monthly Quilting Bee Block Swap (AND other swaps on the board), and it just doesn't seem fair that she has eliminated her chance at winning "the lotto" during any of the monthly lucky drawings.
Sooooooooo, I wondered if 11 more members would like to join me in volunteering to make one extra 6" block during the year-long process for BRT. At the end of the year she will have 12 six-inch blocks to keep for her very own >>> a small thank you gift and tribute for all the work she has done.
If you are interested, please send me a PM - we only need ll more (so to keep it fair) it will be the FIRST 11 who respond, please. Also, if you have a particular month in mind to volunteer for, please PM that info, too (again, first-come basis). We will try to keep at least the "who and when" a BIG SECRET from BRT even though she obviously will see this post. (and NO, she didn't pay me to do this <LOL>).
Thanks, everyone.

Yeah, if there's going to be a separate swap for the 4.5" blocks, I'd rather stick with 12.5 inchers here. If there won't be a swap, then I have no problem with sending 4 4 inchers instead of one 12!

There is NO wrong side of the fabric. You paid just as much for the one side as you did the other!
