June Lotto

Update- now that I've made a few blocks, you get the best boxy look if the darker fabric is the 2.5 inch square ⬛️ and the first 2.5 x 4.5 inch rectangle.


Welcome to June lotto. We will be doing another "Anything Goes" block. WE are shooting for scrappy, scrappy, scrappy! Here is the link to the website. The block is called Boxy Stars. Maybe some of you have done it before.

The rules: we are keeping them few.

Please send the 6 1/2 inch blocks in sets of 4. Do not sew them together into the 12 1/2 inch block. I think it will be good if the winner can pick what she/he wants together.

Fabrics, please use as many different fabrics as you can. You can vary the background from block to block but please keep it the same within each block. I'd like to stray from the WOW for a bit. So lets try some creams, lights tans, light beiges, etc. Your center squares and corner triangles need to be a light fabric.

Here a sample of what you should send. Reminder, each set of 4 small blocks will eventually be one 12 1/2 inch blocks. We will be counting the 12 1/2 inch blocks for tickets.

As always, please ask if you have any questions. Happy Sewing!

I love this block and have been wanting to give it a try for a while now. We all know how I love scrappy. I'm excited to make this. Woo hoo!!

Here is my next set of four 6.5 inch blocks. I timed it and it takes an average of 6 - 7 min for each 6.5 inch block. Very quick. Cutting per block is three background 2.5 inch squares, one 2.5 inch square and one 4.5 x 2.5 inch rectangle of accent fabric and one 2.5 x 4.5 inch rectangle with a 2.5 x 6.5 inch 2nd fabric. That's it. If you have 2.5 inch strips you have it made in the shade! I used a background with small print this time.

I really like this block and plan to get some done - soon. Just been really busy here and things will stay busy for another two weeks so I'm glad to know these blocks are quick!

I printed out the full pattern because I've always wanted to make these. And I have 2½" strips, woohoo! After I get my watering done this morning I'm going to try some.
