Welcome to 
The 2006 Charlotte's Other Quilt Club Featuring Thimbleberries Fabrics.  

July Mini-Quilt

Lori Smith’s DIAMOND IN A SQUARE 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 10 of FAT QUARTER QUILTING: TWENTY LITTLE FAT QUARTERS.

  • You can follow Lori's color picture for fabric choices or branch out on your own.

  • Sew together as described in the pattern.

  • Or follow my tips:

Use Judy Martin's PointJudy Martin - Point Trimmer Trimmer or the double-blunt end on a Perfect Patchwork right-triangle template to trim the B triangles before sewing to the center square and the G triangles before sewing the the H corner squares.

For the flying geese, see my "Tip" on quick geese.  Cut the I & J squares, but do not cut them in half or in fourths.  Instead using these same size squares, follow my instructions.  Click here.

For the half-square triangles in the borders, use 1-1/4" Thangles and 1-3/4" strips.  This is really fast, accurate and easy!

 

 


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.

Click here for the January 9-Patch page with links to other months' projects.


ORGANIZATIONAL TIPS:

  1. Try keeping track of the blocks made each month on the quilt diagram found on page 2.  

  2. Insert all pages from both patterns into clear plastic sleeve protectors and store in a 3-ring binder.

  3. Print and save parts of these web pages and the .pdf pages and store in the notebook.  (Not necessary, as I do not plan on removing these pages from the web site until well after we've finished this year.)

Other tips?  Please share!
