Block Lotto

Here is my contribution to the Block Lotto.  I've had them stitched for quite a while but have been rather slow to get them posted here.



I'm really enjoying seeing the variety of blocks.

Block Lotto from Diane



After finally getting back into 'blog land' I felt inspired to get these blocks happening.

I'm used to burgundies and greens so you can imagine how hard it was to use the bright fabrics in the 'bright block. They came from my stash of 'brights' which I intend using for Kathy Doherty's wedge quilt - but they are so far out of my comfort zone that the stash seems to get bigger but I don't get any closer to starting the quilt!


The light in the blue is a little creamier than it looks in the photo

Feeling a little excited right now!!!

50 DAYS AND COUNTING....

With only 50 sleeps till we all make the trek to our little sewing oasis in the scrub.

I though it was time to start making and checking off the lists of what to bring.

I will continue to update as the days countdown.


o  Scrubbers Block lotto -  Two 12.5 in blocks ( 1 x white and bright, 1 x creamy classic)
  • hope you are all going to give this one ago.... I am loving the samples so far, and for me this was a perfect opportunity to play with the sawtooth star pattern, I am wanting to make a quilt with this block, and having the opportunity to make both versions was wonderful. I have used this template which is great tool for sizing this block and it was from this tutorial, and I whipped up both in under an hour.

CREAMY CLASSIC.... SORRY PHOTO ISN'T TRUE COLOUR

WHITE AND BRIGHT
