Use the fabrics below, but refer to the assembly instructions on Page 2.
Be sure to read and take part in the Forum Discussion before you make blocks.
From Sophie, the Block Lotto Hostess: Whether you think of it as Pink and Brown, Raspberry and Chocolate, or Chocolate covered Cherry, this is a colorway that seems very fresh and modern, even though we can find it in civil war era quilts. We haven't tried this color combination yet for the lotto and so I thought... It's time.
For each block, you'll need four fabrics: two pinks and two tans or browns. The placement of the four fabrics within the blocks is up to you. Mix it up for a scrappy quilt for our August winner(s).
Your pinks and browns should be tone-on-tone (TOT) prints, textural batiks or hand dyes. They can range from pale pinks and tans to deep dark chocolates and dark raspberries.
If you are making multiple blocks, each block must contain a unique combination of four fabrics. Kate created a chart that shows how to take three pinks and three browns to create nine blocks, each with a unique combination of the four fabrics.
