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

April Mini-Quilt

Lori Smith’s ODD FELLOW'S CHAIN 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 pages 7-8 of TWENTY LITTLE FAT QUARTER QUILTS.  There are 3 different light backgrounds used in this quilt.

  • THANGLES in 1" and 2" finished are recommended for the half-square triangle units.

  • QUICK GEESE METHOD is recommended for the flying geese.  Use the same measurements for the squares for these units found in the pattern, but disregard the instructions to cut the squares and leave them whole.

  • When cutting the fabric for the STAR POINT units, round up to the next whole inch.  After sewing that triangle to the rest of the unit, TRUE the 10 smaller units to measure 2½" x 4½" and the 4 larger units to measure 4½" x 8½".  Illustrated instructions can be found on the page with a larger image of the quilt.


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.)

Other tips?  Please share!
