Welcome to
The 2006 Charlotte's Other Quilt Club Featuring Thimbleberries Fabrics.
May Mini-Quilt
Lori Smith’s
ANVIL 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 6 of TWENTY LITTLE FAT QUARTER
QUILTS. Using different light backgrounds gives
this quilt more "movement".
-
THANGLES
in 1.75" & 3.5" finished are recommended for the
half-square triangle units.
-
You
can follow Lori's color picture for fabric choices or
branch out on your own.
-
Using
a design board to audition the colors in different
positions helps keep the color placement interesting.
-
Make
the larger HSTs first, choose the center squares next
and then decide on the outside HSTs. Don't be
afraid to change your mind!

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 ANVIL quilt in Thimbleberries fabrics.
To the left is a
picture of the "design board" I use in my
sewing/guest bedroom.
When I'm ready for one, I take down a wall hanging.
Then using the same nails, hang a piece of light-weight
batting which has a lightweight plastic tube slipped through
a pocket sewn at the top.
You have to start
somewhere, so I suggest you start with the larger
half-square triangles on the left.
