Have yourself a wonky little Christmas!

Have yourself a wonky little Christmas; may your blocks be bright! We celebrated Christmas in July with the introduction of improv Christmas tree block lotto! Using the tutorial by Amy Smart at diaryofaquilter.com/modern-christmas-tree-quilt-block/ you can make as many improv Christmas trees as your heart desires. Each one earns you an entry into our first ever block lotto, which will be held at our October 1st meeting. If your name is drawn, you win enough blocks for a small quilt/wall hanging (or perhaps a large one if you sew blocks for yourself as you create blocks for the lotto). If we have 40 or more entries, we will have more than one winner. Please adhere to the color scheme listed so that we can mix and match, and please use quilt store quality modern fabric. This is a great leaders and enders project — cut a bunch and sew a few here and there from now until October!

Want to participate? Here are the written instructions with photos for our block lotto. Note the unfinished size of the blocks should be roughly 7.5″ X 9.5″.

Video instructions can be found here. Note our colors are different from the video. We are using Christmas red, Christmas green, lime green, aqua, pink and white.

ALSO IN OCTOBER: Holly jolly members of our club will present demonstrations of how to make their go-to Christmas gifts for everyone on your nice lists. Each attendee that evening will receive a folder with detailed instructions. Additionally, each presenter will draw a name to receive their finished go-to gift.
