December Block Lotto - Present Block

What fun this quilt is, and so I thought it would be fun to make the block for our Block Lotto this month.  A full tutorial is in the video below.  You can make a quilt of any size you want with this block, or just make one to mail to Ann and you might just win all the blocks submitted!

I noted down the fabric measurements for you here (all are in the video too)

• (4) 5 inch blocks for the present body.  They should all be the same fabric
• Cut 1.5 inch strips for the Ribbon.  Cut (2) 5 inch x 1.5 inch, and cut (1) 10.5 x 1.5 inch.
• For the Bow:  Cut (2) 2.5 inch squares in the ribbon fabric.  In the white background fabric Cut (1) 4.5 inch x 2.5 inch and  Cut (2) 3.5 inch x 2.5 inch.  This makes the bow and the top sashing in one step.
• For the sashing, use background fabric and cut (2) 12.25 inches x 2.5 inches.  Put sashing on the side and the bottom.  There will be sashing on 3 sides and the blocks can be sewn together with a final sashing at the end (see video)
