For
the July block we thought everyone needed an umbrella to keep the hot rays of
the summer sun off of your head. So to do this we are presenting to you the
April Shower’s block from Craftsy. This is a free block and we made a few
modifications in the actual block. This block will be a fun block to get rid of
some of your scraps and be bright and happy.
The
colors will be your choice with the exception of the background and the
umbrella handle. The background will be a neutral tan/sand or beige modern
color. It may have a print on it but it must “read” neutral in the above
colors. The handle to the umbrella will be in black.
Follow
the directions for the block on Craftsy with the following changes: instead of
cutting the handle 1 ½ by 5 in, cut it at 1 by 6”. Then to make the background
adjust to this size, cut 1 square 6” instead of the original 5”. Also from the
background fabric 2 strips 1 ½ “ by 9” instead of 8 ½ in. You will have a
little extra but this makes it easier to trim back to the final unfinished
block of 8 ½ or finished block of 8”.
As
always, the aesthetic is modern and if you have any questions please feel free to
contact Elaine or Susan!
Happy
sewing,
Your
block lottery team,
Susan
and Elaine
