Lottery Blocks
Here is a list of the lottery blocks planned for the guild. You may make as many as you want. The more you make, the more chances you have to win.

NOTE** When printing patterns in pdf format--make sure page scaling is set to 'None'.

• September: Nine Patch 9" finished block (9 1/2" unfinished) Apple colors (red, green, yellow) or apple themed. Put dark color fabric (may be the apple color or your coordinating fabric) in the corners and center block

• February: Patience Corner 12" finished block (12 1/2" unfinished) Reds, pinks and whites. Pattern
• March: Simple Irish Chain 12" finished block (12 1/2" unfinished) Greens and white. Use 2 1/2" strips to make 2 1/2" squares for a 9 patch block which will be 6 1/2". Alternate 2 of these blocks with 2 - 6 1/2" plain/print blocks.
• April: Roman Stripes 10" finished block (10 1/2" unfinished) Black and bright colors Pattern NOTE: blocks are supposed to be a 10 1/2" (10 " finished) block. Cut 5 strips 2" wide and 15" long and sew together( can make a longer strip of 5 fabrics if making more than one block. I drafted my pattern and cut it out using a freezer paper pattern, so I am not sure how wide they need to cut the strip for the method used in the online directions. I made my strips and cut them out. Then cut my square out with a template since I only made 2. I think it is 7 5/8" wide for the black strip.
• May: Chisholm Trail 12" finished block (12 1/2" unfinished) Spring colors Pattern
• June:Cracker Block 12" finished block (12 1/2" unfinished) Red and white or blue and white Pattern
