2015 August Block Lotto
Welcome to the AUGUST Block Lotto!
The lotto is open to all, and new quilters are encouraged to participate. You will learn much and have fun doing it. Typically, the winner receives enough blocks to complete a nice size quilt. It could be YOU!
Here's the drill:
- you can send 1, 2 or 3 blocks
- all blocks must measure 12.5inches x 12.5inches with no more than 1/4" variation please. With your blocks include name, mailing address, forum name and $1 to cover postage for the winning blocks
- if possible, either attach your name to the back of each block or write your name in the seam allowance with a fabric pen so the winner knows who made the block (this is not a requirement, just a request)
- all blocks received by the last day of the month will be included in the lotto drawing
- you will have 1, 2 or 3 chances to win, depending on how many blocks you've sent in.
- Be sure to post here that you are sending blocks so Linda will keep her eyes open for your package!
Blocks are to be mailed to Linda. She will arrange the collection and dispersal to the winner. If you need her mailing address, you may request it by sending her a message at linda at schultz-assoc.com
AUGUST Bear Paw - 12-1/2" Block Kona black and batiks (use only one color batik per block) Because blacks vary so much, (warm and cool tones), please use KONA black so all of the squares will go well together. (Most JoAnns and Hobby Lobby stores carry Kona cotton.)

Comments (4)We know that the original post was picture heavy and didn't seem to come over to Houzz. But, Sue is out of the country till April and can't fix this. You have the February block and I will be posting March block next week. March is the Friendship Star with a white background, black and white star points and a bright color center. April is Tippecanoe and Tyler Too done in white background with pastels pink, yellow, peach, lavender, light blue and spring green. Both patterns are posted at Quilters Cache website where the patterns are listed in alphabetical order. They should look like this.link to Friendship Star Tippicanoe block...See MoreMARCH 2015 Lotto Block

8 years agoFinished my blocks today and will get them into the mail on Monday when I decide which ones to send. This was a fun block and I love the contrast with the black. The pattern will definitely be in my arsenal of go-to's. I took 2 photos - one straight on and one with an on point setting which I think I like the best.

8 years agoHi! I'd like to submit a block for this months lotto. Is Linda's contact info an engineering site? I don't want to leave a note and have them think I'm a crazy crafter! (Jury is still out on that one, husband included!)! Thanks for any help, it's good to be sewing again.
