Found another one on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=491gz5dKZKI&t=66s
It is made with the Lazy Angle Ruler: https://www.lazygirldesigns.com/prod...y-angle-ruler/
or you can draft your own templates.
Again, a quilt made up of these blocks could be quite interesting. I have a small image here, will post better one once I make up a demo block.

Here is another block that, with clever use of colour (and you could also play with scale) would make a good block lotto choice and result in an interesting quilt. The blocks are made a bit oversize so they can be cut down in the curved seam construction.

Came up with another idea thanks to the blog "Sane, Crazy, Crumby Quilting" (https://saneandcrazy.blogspot.com/).

How fun would it be to make a block lotto based on orphan blocks? We all have them!
You could:
-make it entirely random, whatever folks bring, they bring (what a great design challenge!)
-ask for a specific block size(s)
-ask that the blocks coordinate with a specific colour or colour range
Or set up a member exchange of orphan blocks. Super fun!

Maria Shell's "striped pinwheels" would also be a great Block Lotto block!

This is from Benartex's digital magazine "Modern by the Yard" issue #14, a block designed by Sarah Lauzon of @cera.bee
You make a two colour strip set of one colour on each side of a contrast strip where the inner contrast colour strip is a wedge. Cut the stips then reassemble such that they are out of order, which gives a jumbly movement effect.
