Saturday at the Quilt Museum - Odd Fellows Quilts

The Odd Fellows pattern isn't one on which I have focused previously.  This first in the lineup is what caught my eye and got me interested in it.

Odd Fellows
Mid-1800's
10" block
86" x 90"

When you get up close to this, you can see that it's just an amazing array of scraps.  From a distance it has a much different feel.

Odd Fellows with 9-Patch and Rails Sashing
1870's
Heavily Quilted

There's no provenance available on this one.  The eBay description said that it is heavily quilted, however.

As with so many quilt block patterns, there is such a different look achieved by adding sashing.

Odd Fellows
Made by the Fisher Sisters
Bergen County, New Jersey
1915

Using a single solid color for the squares and large triangle pieces in the blocks gives the lattice feel to it.

Odd Fellows
1900
84" x 84"

This one has a totally different feel to it with alternating blocks and being set on point.

I found it here:

Odd Fellows
Wisconsin
1875-1900

No provenance on this one.  Again, such a different feel to it when the blocks are made in different colors.

Here's a block pattern with cutting directions.

Have fun!

For a 10" Block:

A - Cut 4 - 2 1/2" squares

B - Cut 1 - 7 1/4"" square and cut diagonally 2 times for 4 triangles

C - Cut 4 - 2 7/8" squares and cut diagonally 1 time for 8 triangles

D - Cut 6 - 3 1/4"" squares and cut diagonally 2 times for 24 triangles

E - Cut 1 - 3 3/8"" square

For a 5" Block: (For a mini!)

A - Cut 4 - 1 1/2" squares

B - Cut 1 - 4 1/4"" square and cut diagonally 2 times for 4 triangles

C - Cut 4 - 1 7/8" squares and cut diagonally 1 time for 8 triangles

D - Cut 6 - 2 1/4"" squares and cut diagonally 2 times for 24 triangles

E - Cut 1 - 1 7/8"" square


I HAVEN'T MADE THIS BLOCK USING THE ABOVE CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS!
I HOPE THEY ARE CORRECT.  I'VE DOUBLE-CHECKED, BUT UNTIL I MAKE IT, I NEVER KNOW!

Happy Quilting!
