Mixing prints and solids is just fine. I’m not fussy about 1/4” seam, just so that small blocks are squarable to 6.5”. Or if you decide to make a 12.5” block, it should be squarable to that. When I made mine, I cut my strips 2.5” x 7”, so I had a little wiggle room.
Just looking for a lot of fall colors, work with what you have on hand.
By the way, I love the baskets! That would be a fun lotto or swap for next year

I sure would like to get the time to do this this month. Busy month but will try.

Re: October Lotto---Revised
MARY, glad to see October posted. I'm not sure I'll get any done, quick and easy as they are. We're leaving in a few hours and by the time we get home again, unpack and clean the trailer and do 2 weeks of laundry, October will be half over. I'll try to get some done while the washer is spinning, but it might be squeaky for me!

Re: October Lotto---Revised
Thank you for the reply. I'm going to open sewing tonight so I will see what I can dig up in my stash. If not, I'm sure I can find a FQ or two. I don't have a lot in these colors.
When are these to be mailed in??
Have a good day!

P.S. I'm obsessed with the basket quilt. I've seen much cuter ones in person. I've been collecting background fabrics. When I get a moment I will post a few of my sample/practice blocks. I was playing around a bit with the sizes since I had to make my own pattern.

Happy Monday Everyone:
My 6 1/2 x 7 inch blocks were sent off today! They are untrimmed. Just one side needs to be cut down.
That went fairly quickly. The one strip that looks washed out is actually a light yellow.

I haven’t seen any posts in awhile. Did we have many participants this month?

Hey, "Meg"!
I mailed you a package of 6-1/2" blocks yesterday. They should be there by Tuesday. It's been a very busy month, and I almost forgot! But I finally got to them!
