I tried again, starting with a larger square and trimming the outer edge square  These turned out nicely and it’s getting easier to stitch that curve with practice.  Awaiting judgement on the fabric of one of these…not sure if those leaves read one color well enough.  The red paisley is the fabric I used to sash one of my Scrappy Trips...

  Yesterday I finally made my templates (Thanks Sophie!).  Today I started looking for fabrics and I have cut and sewn my first Eclipse block…maybe.  It came out a bit skewed as you can see in the picture with the ruler on top of the block.  I’m open for input into as  to what may have caused this and how to get better results.  Would it work to start with a 10″ square of bright fabric and trim...

Finally I have one block made. The cutting and sewing was a lot of fun and much easier then I thought. I am so happy I was “forced” to try this. Without Block Lotto I would have never attempted it.

I made a second exactly like it to save for my...

Here are my 8 blocks for January. I agree with one of the other posts – making the templates was the hardest part. My own problems were caused by an overly-helpful printer who thought it best to resize the images to fit onto my A4 paper (international sizing – similar, but not the same as US letter paper). I’m sure I told it not to, twice.But, I admit that the end result was worth the...

Here are nine from me for January. These were fun, though I did have trouble trying to find “light” fabric in my stash.  Who’d have suspected I had a light fabric...

Here is my one block for the month.  Although curves are not my favorite thing to do, this block went together very easily!   Terri...
