Block Lotto

A great way to get involved in guild, is to participate in the Block Lotto (previously called Block of the Month (BOM)). It's a great way to try out different techniques, work in a variety of colourways, learn about different modern designs, and maybe even win a few prizes!

But you might be wondering...

How does the Block Lotto work?

  • Each month at the OTTMQG event we will show you the next block. (We also post it on this website and social media.) 
  • Go home make the block; make one, make two, make more…(by participating you are; learning a new skill, trying a new block, or stretching your creativity) 
  • If you like, take a picture of your block and share it on Social Media (i.e: Facebook, IG) using the suggested hashtags. We would love to see them and it encourages the rest of us. 
  • Bring your finished blocks to the next month's event and get a chance to win all the blocks made for that month's block.
  • During Zoom Event months, blocks can be kept at home until the next in-person event (April).  Draws will be made for all the Zoom months at that time!

So WHY participate in the Block Lotto program? 

There are many points of entry and levels of engagement guild members can choose to partake in. Some come to guild events and don't know how to really get involved.

This program is great for people who:
  • want to learn more about modern quilting.
  • (each month is a different technique or aspect of modern quilting). 
  • want to work on their sewing skills and learn new techniques they can test out on a block and then try again on their own quilts.
  • want to be a part of something bigger (making one, or two blocks that you or another member wins and then becomes part of a quilt, a community and so much more!) 
  • want to try something NEW! 
Find a problem in the pattern?- Please remember that this was made by a volunteer and a fellow guild member. Contact presidentomqg@gmail.com if you believe there is an error, and we will try and fix it and let everyone else know. But remember #Pleasebekind
