I figured it would be 6" finished, as that's what most 6" block patterns will be.

Feb.'s colors are blue and creme. That is the ONLY stipulation, so if you would like to use batiks go for it. The batik month, however, must utilize batiks.

I was the lucky winner of a monthly draw! I will post a picture hopefully tomorrow when the camera is charged. It is beautiful! It is a card holder (for lack of maybe a better term!)
It opens up and there are four beautiful cards inside that BRT made! She did make the holder as well! It is absolutely beautiful!! Thank you so much! I am shocked I never win!! :D :D :shock: :D :D

I'm glad you liked it! I didn't know if someone would like an "un-quilty" prize or not... but I thought I would take a risk. Random happy mail is always so much fun!

Please take one last look on page 92 about the lottery "themes." I will finalize tomorrow morning so those who want to get started can (for the whole year.) I will post the final list on page one and on the group activity page for this swap. You may make more than one 6" block a month for more than once chance at winning. (THE FINISHED SIZE OF THE BLOCK WILL BE 6.5, my mistake.)

If you are financially able, and if you would like to, please consider mailing along an additional stamp to offset the cost of returning the winning prize each month. (NOT OBLIGATORY.)

Thanks ladies!!

Feb.- Blue and Creme
March- purple/green hearts (http://quilting.about.com/od/quiltpa...eart_quilt.htm)
April- batiks
May- teal/brown
June- scrappy shoe fly (http://quilting.about.com/od/quiltbl..._dash.-6r7.htm)
July- black/white/red
Aug.- Autumn Colors
Sept.- Halloween
Oct.- Turkeys (Use as an inspiration!)
Nov.- Christmas
Dec.- Silver/Blue Star (http://quilting.about.com/od/blockof...riend_star.htm(

I like your idea of pink and brown instead of Halloween.
How 'bout something different for Oct ? Like BIRDS in general instead of turkeys?
