July Block Lotto

Summer is in full swing and I've got July's block for you! Here is the color palette, a mix of classic reds and blues with some mint and yellow in for fun.






These are what I pulled from my stash. I couldn't find my box of pale mint green so I went with light blue instead. Please feel free to use white, too.




The block is Skinny Churn Dash and can be found HERE. There are several variations she shows, so if one of the other churn dash styles inspires you go for it! I think the variation would be fun. The blocks should finish around 12.5".

How to play: Make up the block for the month following the pattern and color scheme. Make as many as you want as you will get an entry for every block you make! Bring all your finished blocks to the meeting on July 10th and we will draw a winner. If there are enough blocks to be divided, multiple winners will be drawn. The winner then gets all of those blocks to make a quilt (or similar project)! The winner can participate in following lottos but can't win again until a completed project is presented. 


Have fun!
