May 2007 Beginner Block Lotto - Scrappy Baskets

May Baskets

Made by Terri55
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.
