I finished the top for the Ode to the 1930's pattern by Lori Smith. that I made in Thimbleberries fabric instead. It turned out great. Finishing it made me remember how much I like Thimbleberries.
It's about 72" X 57". The pattern called for a wide 8" border but I decided to do the triple border instead.
I think I already said that I was making two of these (the other in actual 1930's) so I could have a reversible quilt. It's not going to happen. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the blocks I've already made but the other fabric is going to be made into something else.

Now, that I don't need to hang on to any of the fabric to finish up something I previously started, I can use it up in the other quilt (see previous post) that got put on hold to finish this one.. And I won't be pushing myself, just sewing at leisure.

it's a beautiful quilt...i love lori smith patterns...and the 30s version is nice...no doubt an idea will present itself...
I love your Ode to Thimbleberries quilt top! I've always loved their fabrics too, though have few if any left at this point. If you eventually decide to dispose of the 30s blocks I'd be interested in combining them with some of my 30s fabrics and orphan blocks and make something for donation or the camp auction. Looking forward to seeing your completed BB1 quilt top. I still need to add an outer border to mine to bring it up to a useable size.
Your quilts are beautiful. The first one is my favorite. Hugs
Just gorgeous Thimbleberries quilt, Robin--lovely work on this one...
I really like how it looks so vintage hugs, Julierose
Oh I LOVE your quilt - so, so pretty. I think your triple border was genius. I am a real sucker for Thimbleberries fabrics, I even like the name! I like your way of "sewing at leisure".
The Thimbleberies top is warm and inviting. Great job!
I really like the 30s blocks, but if they don't speak to you, there is no need to force yourself to finish that quilt.
It would be a shame to not do something with those 30's fabrics (which I love by the way) but maybe a couple of table runners as gifts or my latest cop out-pillows, baby or little girl quilt?
