Hi Scrubbers.............
yes the silence here has been deadly but i'm back to annoy you all with some more information...........Sonia and I both are a little out of control and have been for a few months in our lives......we apologise for our absence but it's lucky we got most things organised early on......so do not fear things are in control..........but i hatched this hair brain idea a few weeks ago over a glass of champagne with Miss Kylie..........
All you need to do is make 2 blocks
can be the same block but two different colourways are needed to enter the draw for block lotto........
photo not doing best justice might try to get another one today.......
Colour way one white and bright
can be plain white or a white on white tonal background but bright fabrics in the block.............
here is a better pic of my bright colours..............
here is a better pic of my bright colours..............
The other colourway is Creamy classic I added another photo below to get a better idea...........truer colours..........
cream or cream tonal like I used and country/reproduction type colours............
any of you making Lucy Bostons..........think those colours.............
found this photo on the net to give you an idea of the colour palette............
it does not need to be the prints below but to fit in with them..........although on looking I think I have heaps of these prints below..........woops.........
BLOCK DETAILS
the blocks need to be 12.5in unfinished (12in finished - ie once sewn into a quilt)
you can make what ever block you want.......easy or hard it is up to you.........
Only took me about an hour to make both the blocks above and that was also choosing fabrics...........
Just google 12in blocks or go to these links............
SO WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE BLOCKS...........
well one person is drawn out as the winner.............
the winner gets to choose which pile of blocks they want to keep..........
white and bright or creamy classic...........
make up your own quilt to keep as a memory from the weekend.......
SO WHAT HAPPENS TO THE OTHER PILE OF BLOCKS I HEAR YOU ASKING............
the other pile will be made into a quilt which will go to a needy cause/fundraiser/charity to be determined at a later date......
To enter the draw you need to make one bock in each colourway............
make two sets in both colourways you get two entries........
I really enjoyed this so think I am going to make another set with a another pattern........thinking churn dash for the creamy classic and I saw a funky arrow block I might try for the bright one..........
BUT if everyone did this......
if we got 36blocks (6x6) blocks we could make a quilt at least 72in square which is not a bad size
if we got 42 blocks (6x7)
we could make a quilt 72x84in
the bigger the better..........
(randon pile of blocks stolen from internet)
So what do you think?
Are you heading off to make some blocks now???
