Did you make blocks this month? It’s time for the SNEAK PEEK

If you are one of the 34 quilters that have made some of the 224 Steps blocks for the Block Lotto so far this month, you should have email from me with the guidelines and directions for making the April block.

It’s also a good time to double check that you’re on the list and that the number of blocks I have attributed to you is correct on the At-a-Glance page … and if you chose to contribute blocks but not participate in the drawing, I’d appreciate if you’d double check that I caught that and put your blocks in the correct “bucket.”

If you have made and posted blocks and didn’t receive the email, let me know and I’ll resend it.

If you did receive it and have questions (or find errors), be sure to let me know via email ASAP.

If you have a chance to make blocks and can send me individual photos to use to build a virtual quilt when the block is announced here, I’d love that.

Here are some scraps from my first April block.  If you haven’t made blocks so didn’t receive the sneak peek and are curious, the fabric requirements will be:

Soft Blue SKY background fabric may be a solid, tone-on-tone (TOT) print or a multi-color low-volume print that “reads as blue” if you are looking at it from across the room

BRIGHTS – two bright fabrics are quilter’s choice–they should look good together with good contrast.

Black or black & white ACCENT may be solid black, black on black (BOB) print or a black and white print
