This month's Block Lotto block is paper-pieced! This easy, "no-cost" pattern from Fresh Lemon Quilts will make for a fun, scrappy quilt for the lucky winner!
We will be using a 12-inch template from Fresh Lemon Quilts. The template is embedded in her blog post and she has a wonderful paper-piecing tutorial if you missed the October meeting demo.
I have chosen the palette below, I hope you like it!

We are looking for hues of purples, blues, and a pop of orange or sunny yellow. Our "neutral" will be black and white print in which the lavender above serves as our white. The black and white print will always be Piece 3 on the template. Solids are allowed for the colors. If you only do one block, you don't have to include any of the orange/yellow, thus the pop!Fabrics 1 and 2 will need to be similar in color for each template. Fabric 3 is your "neutral", which will be a black and white print. You will need four templates/pieces which make one block, so just make sure you are not repeating any fabrics within one block. See my example below where I have labeled which piece is which.
Make sure you leave the paper on your block. That will be the lucky winner's super fun task!
Bring your finished blocks to the November meeting to be entered in the Block Lotto.
