For the June 2011 Block Lotto, we are making blocks in an analogous colorway of green-blue-violet, including one green, one blue and one violet fabric in each block.
CUTTING
For each block,
Cut 1 rectangle - 4.5 x 6.5 inches
Cut 2 rectangles - 3.5 x 5.5 inches
SEWING THE BLOCK
- Sew the two smaller rectangles together, along their long sides, Press toward the darker fabric.
- Add the large rectangle to the top. Press the seam toward the large rectangle. The block should measure 6 1/2 by 9 1/2 inches.
Here is a sampling of blocks made by some quilters in the Block Lotto community.
For a clean, minimalist look, surround each of the blocks with wide borders in a solid neutral–simulated by white space here–and arrange them all with the same orientation:

You still have the purple people fabric!
Love how you have incorporated so many of your blocks, challenges, etc. into free pattern links. I am linking to them in my own multiple free link pages. I love giving others free things and more than delighted to send them your way ;)
