March BOM: Wonky Stars Block Lotto

We're doing Block Lotto for the block of the month for March! Each block you bring gives you one entry into the block lotto, so feel free to make as many as you'd like to increase your chances of bringing home the whole lot!

Your blocks should be 12.5" unfinished with a light/low volume background and whatever scraps you have in your scrap pile, but as always, please don't trim them down - that way the lucky winner gets to use the same ruler to trim them all ;) 

If you made it to the February meeting, Sharon gave us a demo on making the wonky star. If you didn't make it to the meeting, or need a refresher, check out the Wonky Star Tutorial at Owen's Olivia.

February BOM: Tropical Bento Box

To escape the dreary rain, we'll be pretending we're on a trip to somewhere warm and sunny in the tropics and use white with some tropical brights: yellows, oranges, corals, limes, hot pinks, purples and turquoises in all solids (no white-on-white please). Scroll to the bottom of this post for an inspiration graphic for colors.

This month we'll be doing the Bento Box block in tropical-inspired solid colors. This block uses 2 1/2 inch strips and will end up at 12 1/2 inches big, and the tutorial can be found here. Please mix and match your colors within a block, with white always being the light in the block. Keep one color throughout one quarter of the block though. So, the block would end up white with 4 different "darks" (one color in each corner) in each block.  Enjoy!
