May Block Lotto: Monochromatic Scrap Vortex




Due: Bring your blocks to the June 22 event

It's time to use up some scraps! Pick any colour - your favourite, your least favourite, or the one where you have the most scraps and make a scrap vortex block using just that colour.

What's a scrap vortex block? There are variations out there, but it seems to have been popularized by Amanda Jean Nyberg (@crazymomquilts), and you may also remember that this was a block lotto from Leslie back in 2022. 

For this month's block lotto, please follow Leslie's instructions, with these changes:

  • Instead of using a variety of colours, just use one colour for each block (though you can use different shades/tints/tones of the colour)
  • The blocks you turn in can be any of these sizes. The bigger the block, the more tickets you'll get for the draw!
    • 12.5 x 18.5"
    • 12.5 x 12.5"
    • 12.5 x 6.5"
    • 6.5 x 6.5"
Hopefully we'll get a variety of colours and the winner will end up with a rainbow! 

On a personal note, I'd like thank everyone who participated in block lotto this year. I enjoyed putting them together and it was a delight to see all of your blocks.
