May Basket Lotto

At our Friendship Stars guild meeting

next week we are having a

May Basket Lotto.

Have you ever participated in a 

quilt block lotto?

It's FUN!

Here is my finished 12 1/2 inch block.

Our lotto lets you make any basket design you'd like.

Because we have a lot of beginner quilters

in our group

I wanted to post an easy block with instructions

for those that need help.

Here is how I drew it out.

I'm no artist, as you can see.

You need to cut:

Background fabric

5- 4" squares (1/2 sq triangles)

5- 3 1/2" squares

 

Floral Print

3- 4" squares (1/2 square triangles)

Basket Print

2- 4" squares (1/2 square triangles)

1- 3 1/2" square

Using the 4" squares

make 6 half square triangle units 
of floral/background fabric

and 4  basket/background fabric.

Trim to 3 1/2" square.

Lay blocks in order shown below.

Stitch into rows 1 thru 4 and

Press row seams in opposite directions

so seams lay flat.

TaDa! 

Wasn't that easy?

The more blocks you make 

the more chances you have to win all the blocks!

Enough to make a quilt!

Doesn't it sound like fun?
