Cracker Block Pattern for September Block Lotto

Monday September 1, 2008
quilt patternThe Quilting Forum's beginner block lotto gives members an opportunity to make blocks from stash scraps. This year it's been easier than ever, because Sophie (the event's hostess) planned twelve months of (different) 6" quilt blocks, smaller than blocks in previous years (but not so small that they're difficult to make).

September's choice is the Cracker quilt block. It goes together quickly and easily, and a batch of scrappy Cracker blocks offers all sorts of color play across the surface of your quilt. Another plus -- the blocks can be arranged lots of ways (I've included a few examples in the pattern).

Sorry to bother you Janet, but I was hoping to make up my blocks for the lottery while on vacation, but the link still doesn’t work for me… can you check again? I go back to work on Monday…..

I’m not sure why it wasn’t working — but it didn’t work for me either. I copied and pasted the link in again, saved, and now it seems ok again. Odd.
