2025 Block Lotto
Our guild activity for 2025 is a Block Lotto, a popular activity that the guild hasn't done for a few years. Participants will be bring a block to the assigned monthly meeting that matches the requirements. They will earn a raffle ticket for each block surrendered. At the end of the meeting, a drawing will be held to see who walks away with all the blocks. The hope is that we will see these blocks again in the form of a quilt top. If enough blocks are donated, there may be more than one winner.
Things we ask you to keep in mind -
Stitch length should be 2.0 or slightly less
All seams should be a quarter inch. Use a scant seam if your blocks end up smalled than intended.
Double check block sizes for accurate finished sizing; there are different sizes for the different months.
Blocks should be pressed well.
Modern, quilt shop quality fabrics only please.
Members will receive one ticket per block made.
