May Block Lotto - Scrappy Strings HSTs

Here is a link to the online tutorial :

https://www.bloomingpoppies.net/pages/scrappy-strings-hst-block-tutorial

The only change from the tutorial will be to start with a 9" (or larger, depending how much "wiggle room" you want!) square of muslin (for the string block) and  9" (or larger) square of white/light gray/cream low volume fabric. After making the HSTs as instructed in the tutorial, trim to 8.5" (instead of 8" in the tutorial). 

 

Think spring when picking the string block fabrics/colors...any bright and cheery prints will work! Making one string block = two HST blocks.

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. (see inspiration photo) & 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:

   2 contrasting squares 9x9

   2 squares  4x3 of one fabric
