The May Beginner Block Lotto in our general Quilting Forum is based on my
Scrappy Baskets quilt block, with a few changes:
Light Background Fabric
Use a cream or tan
tone-on-tone print fabric.
Basket Fabric
The basket base and its logs are made from a tan or brown print fabric. The fabric can contain other colors, but should "read" as (appear to be) tan or brown when viewed from a distance.
Make sure there's good contrast between the basket and background fabrics.
Forum Discussion
It's important to
refer to the forum discussion for additional guidelines, such as the maximum number of blocks you can send our hostess and which fabrics can be repeated in your blocks. The discussion is also the best place to ask questions about the block and its construction.
