About the Quilt Block Lotto
Sophie is the About Quilting Forum Hostess who manages the monthly Block Lotto, a quilt block swap that gives you a chance to win blocks made by many members of our community. The blocks she selects change each month, but they are all perfect for quilters of any skill level -- and some are designed to help beginners stretch their abilities.The January, 2007, lotto block is a double four-patch sewn in white and blue. The instructions make two blocks with a finished size of 8-inches. One quilt block is white with a blue pathway and the other is its reverse, blue with a white path.
Choosing Fabrics for the Lotto Quilt Block
Choose a tone-on-tone blue fabric or a print that reads as (looks like) blue from a distance. Your other fabric should be a white-on-white print. Fat quarters work perfectly for this block, and you'll have leftover fabric for more quilt block pairs or another project.Use the following resources to learn a bit more about the quilt block lotto:
