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

September Mini-Quilt

Lori Smith’s HOMAGE TO MRS. TAFT 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 12 of FAT QUARTER QUILTING: SIMPLY CHARMING.

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

• Sew together as described in the pattern.

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.

[Check back periodically to see what other "tips" I add to help with these blocks.]

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.)
