Welcome to
The 2006 Charlotte's Other Quilt Club Featuring Thimbleberries Fabrics.
June Mini-Quilt
Lori Smith’s
4-PATCH DELIGHT mini quilt.
-
Start with 8 fat quarters included in this month's
shipment. Also use some fabrics from previous
months to get a nice mix of colors.
-
Follow the pattern on
page 7 of FAT QUARTER QUILTING: SIMPLY CHARMING. Using different light backgrounds
with a variety of textures adds even more interest.
-
You
can follow Lori's color picture for fabric choices or
branch out on your own.

This quilt consists of 7-1/2"
blocks and measures approx. 72" x 89" when
finished. Designed and copyrighted by Lori Smith.
After making the
16" x 20" mini-quilt, there will be enough fabric
to make some 7-1/2" blocks each month. You may choose to
receive more fabric each month**, insuring you can make 7
blocks monthly and complete the fabulous sampler quilt
pictured above in just 12 months.

Charlotte's 4-PATCH DELIGHT quilt in Thimbleberries fabrics.
I started with the
wonderful floral for the outside border, pulled colors from
that and using Lori's quilt as a guide, laid out my colors.
I find the SPACE
BOARD to be an invaluable tool when pressing, especially
rows that are sewn on the diagonal. Notice how I've
used the lines on the board to lay my corner piece, making
sure it is square before I press.
My pins are stored in
my favorite WOOL
PIN CUSHION.
