Block Lotto Instructions

6/10/2025

We provide a monthly quilt block pattern. The patterns will show up on this website on the 2nd Monday of each month.

Use the block pattern to make quilt items such as a table runner, porch quilt, or any size quilt you want. Just keep making the block until it is the size you want. Add sashing and have fun with fabrics and colors!
Optional: If you would like to participate in the Block Lotto, make 1 block and mail it to Ann. Ann will use all entries received by the deadline and draw 1 member name. That person will win all of the blocks submitted. (Each member gets only one chance)
Mail your block (1 only) to Ann Nolen, 1007 Baird Rd, Santa Rosa, CA 95409.
I tested a 9x4 business envelope with one block in it, and it took 1 USA stamp. You may need to iron your block flat to mail it. Members in other countries will have to figure out postage themselves. Tip: A larger envelope may require additional postage.
Ann will mail all blocks to the winner!

Photos of the blocks submitted will be posted on our Blog Page each month, and the winner of the drawing will be listed too!

Disappearing Hourglass Block
This block is dramatic with the dark background, and uses "shortcuts" to make it a beginner block. Use the video and follow the instructions. Everything you need to know is there.

If you want to enter our drawing, make 1 block with a black/dark background fabric, and the main fabric is something bright for good contrast. See instructions on where to mail it to.
The drawing will be July 14th, 2025
