Along the way, I also created some step-by-step directions using my favorite no-waste method of flying geese units, as well as the more common method using rectangles and squares–useful if you're using 2-1/2 inch noodles from swaps or jelly rolls. You can find my directions and notes for the block here - Jeweled Geese Block.
I got a little carried away distracting myself and made more than a few extras . . . I finally stopped at 30 blocks. (The maximum blocks to enter in the lotto is 9.) Here's my flock.
I have some medical appointments on Monday and Tuesday –I'm a little nervous. Quilting is a good, productive, distraction . . . plus I can goose up the numbers on the lotto this month a bit with these extra blocks and donate my 9 chances to any newbies who join us (or some of the regulars who have yet won at set of blocks, if we don't attract any first-timers). I think it's win-win-win.

wow..you have enough there to make a nice sized quilt!
These are all to sweeten the pot for the block lotto. The winners will win a set of 48--that's the target set size, sometimes they win more . . . but I think I did show that it's pretty easy to make quite a nice pile of extra blocks if you wanted to make a little quilt (or if you win the lotto, a LARGER one ;-)
