A Little More Quilt Progress
Caffinated Stitcher
Here's a little more progress on the Light colorway of the Thimbleberries BOTM quilt that I have been working on. This block presented more of a challenge for me to align all of the diamonds up!! As you can see I was a little off in some areas, but all in all it's not too bad. By the time I get to the third quilt I should have it down...lol!



Month 3 was a bit easer for me to put together....everything just seemed to go together quite nicely. Aren't the bowties cute?


Happy Stitching!

Quilt Progess....At Last!

I don't know if I mentioned before that I decided to buy all three colorways for this fabulous quilt!! What a HUGE task I set for myself…lol! So I decided that I had better get going on the work ahead since I have three times to do :) I have ripped apart and restarted so many times that I could have one half way done by now….it’s so important to read and read again!! All of those numbers start running together for me after a while. I ran into some problems with the precut pieces as well…some of them were just a little too small, which presented problems in the overall measurements, so I don’t think I will go that route again. I found things went better when I cut the pieces myself. All in all I did enjoy spending the last two days working on the quilt and seeing my squares come together :)

This is Block #1 in the Light colorway: I cut the upper square the wrong size, so will have to wait until my fabric comes in to make the three smaller squares that go with this…..but most of my points turned out well and all of the background fabric is going in the same direction....that's progress :)



I skipped ahead to Block #6 in the Light colorway so I could work with those lovely green and purple fabrics. They are very pretty in person :) I managed to get all four squares done with no major mishaps on my part. I did have some precut pieces that were smaller than they should have been, but I think that they can fit into the quilt ok when it’s time to put them all together.




I did manage to get Block #2 in the Light colorway cut out before I called it quits for the day, so hopefully I can get that put together tomorrow :) I feel like I’m making progress now……
Happy Stitching!

Thimbleberries 3's Company BOTM Quilt
Caffinated Stitcher
Yesterday while I was over at River City Quilts picking up the Bistro fabric that I mentioned in one of my other posts, they had this beautiful quilt hanging up. I inquired about it and was told it was a block of the month. I went all of the way home with that beautiful quilt on my mind and ended up going back to pick up the first 6 months worth of charts and fabrics :))) I am by no means a "quilter", but I think I will really enjoy working on this. It is so much more beautiful in person than in this pic! There are three color ranges you can choose for this quilt...I chose the Traditional theme. Here is the link to the Thimbleberries website.


Fabrics used in the "Traditional" quilt. Here's a list of the amount of fabrics needed for each section.

Cheater panel....I love the idea of this!! It really does add so much to the finished quilt.

My first two squares!!!! I felt like I did well until I looked at the finished product really good and noticed that the stripes in my neutral fabric are not all going the same way :( Oh well....I will keep a sharp eye now and make sure it doesn't happen any more. I may re-do these two squares at a later date.

I found it a little difficult to find a shop that carries all three color ranges, but finally found a great online shop that has all of them and great service too! Just type in 3's Company in the search box and it will take you to everything available.

I intend to just take my time and have fun with this project!
