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! 

https://www.diaryofaquilter.com/patchwork-tree-quilt-block-tutorial/

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
