An Oldie But a Goodie!

I finally finished quilting this old quilt yesterday and finished up the binding after church today. I don't know the name of this pattern, but I think it was a Thimbleberries pattern, I may be wrong it has been so long.

I am showing a close up of a couple of the blocks for Amy. As you can see it is nothing fancy just free hand fun! I will use actual patterns sometime but just going with the flow is so fast and so much more fun!



I have another oldie, I got the kit in Paducah one year during the quilt show and have had it finished just a couple of months ago. This one will be alot of fun to do, a real girly girl quilt. :D
Have a great Sunday afternoon and happy quilting!

Oh, it is lovely. I am a big fan of anything Thimbleberries. It is very similar to Thimbleberries Month by Month Quilt. I think it was their first BOM. You did a wonderful job of freehand quilting. I love it. Winona

Lovely finish. Thanks so much for the close-ups of the quilting. I'm trying to work my way up to doing some free-hand work on individual blocks and seeing your work is giving me lots of great ideas. It has been such fun seeing what quilts you will pull out next.

That looks great! I love samplers, and especially love the applique border.

Lovely quilting, and I agree with others that it looks like an early Thimbleberries BOM. Those blocks are timeless.
How refreshing it must be for you to get so many UFOs done.
