December Block Lotto

December Block Lotto 

Patchwork Tree Block


For our December Block Lotto we will be doing the Patchwork Tree Block by Diary of a Quilter! 


Fabrics - 
Trees and background should be a mix of low volumes, greens and pinky reds. 
Trunk - shades of brown

  • Instructions have you make two blocks at a time!  You will get the reverse colorway.  
  • Try different angles on top for different sized trees!

    **We doubled the measurements for the Tree block so that we would have 8x10.5 unfinished block size.

    Changes are as follows:

       (for 2 blocks as per the instructions for the tutorial link below)

       2 contrasting squares 9x9

       2 squares  4x3 of one fabric

       2 square 4x3 of second contrasting fabric

       2 trunks 2x3 of brown

    unfinished block  will be 8.5x11 and trim to 8x10.5




    December 4th Quarter Challenge/Swap

     End of Year Challenge / December Swap

    Please make a Winter Themed Wall Quilt no bigger than 18" and bring to the December meeting. We will be swapping these with other members White Elephant style. Please make sure your item is completely finished and wrapped to swap. We've done this for years and it's always a ton of fun! You may attend to watch even if you don't want to participate!
