Chattanooga Modern Quilt Guild blocks

Remember this mornings post about the Garden Gate block which can be found here  http://www.conniekresin.com/2013/03/garden-fence-block-tutorial.html  this was our block lotto for May.   What happens is if you want to make one or up to three you bring them in at the next meeting and you get to put your name in the basket.  Then someone draws and if your name is drawn you get all the blocks.  Now before you can win again you have to make a quilt and bring it back to guild.  I had allot of fun making these blocks and they were easy to do.  Well guess whose name was drawn, that is right mine so I got to have all of them and i already have them up on my design wall.  There were 13 blocks but I didn't have room to post the 13th so I will take another pic and add that to it but here they are.  I am tickled pink now i have to decide what to do with them....

Chattanooga Modern Quilt Guild

Good morning!  Our Chattanooga Modern quilt guild is this morning and I made 2 blocks for our block lottery.  DH cut the fabric for me and then I sewed the Garden Gate blocks.  They were fun to put together and if you would like the pattern you can go here http://www.conniekresin.com/2013/03/garden-fence-block-tutorial.html ...well off to get ready, enjoy your day.

I put them on freezer paper so they wouldn't get all wrinkled....it was a fun block.
