The Lotto Block for the Cyber Sew-In is the Square in a Square.
Blocks will be eight inches finished and scrappy.
Blocks can be made starting with either dark or light in the center.
Cutting:
1. The center square is cut 3 3/8 inches.
2. The first round of half square triangles are cut from 2 7/8 inch squares.
3. The second round of triangles are quarter square triangles cut from a 5 1/4 inch square.
4. The final half square triangles are cut from 4 7/8 inch squares.
Cutting triangles from a slightly larger square allows you to easily square up after stitching.
Stitching:
Continue in the same way for two more rounds of triangles. The next round should be squared up at 5 5/8 inches. the final Block will be 8 1/2 inches.
Each block will mean one chance to win all that are made. Report the number of lotto blocks that you make on Sunday evening for the drawing.
