Pineberry quilt



My grand daughter Lucy asked me to teach her how to make a quilt. I showed her a bunch of patterns and she chose Pineberry, a cute quilt designed by Lindsey of Pen and Paper Designs. I love this quilt so I thought it was a good choice. Then I started thinking about it....this quilt is going to take a year to complete!  Also, it's for advanced beginner!!!  Lucy will be 12 years old in a week and her fingers are very liable, she's able to do very fine little things.  She also has the mind of an engineer, so putting all those pieces together is an enjoyable challenge for her.

Lucy finished her first block! the colors aren't that true on the computer but you get the idea.  She chose all the fabrics herself.
I've got a pretty good selection of fabric for her to choose from! 😂


Lucy also cut all the pineberry pieces out herself, with a rotary cutter! 😳 She did very well and was very safety conscious.  


Now Lucy has finished two blocks!  We found out that it takes a little over an hour to make one block. This past week, we listened to Benson Boone sing while we sewed. Mystical, Magical!


School is starting up this week, and it's Mountain Biking season.  Lucy will be going to middle school this year, she is in 7th grade. It will be challenging finding time to sew but I'm sure that we can make it work. I'll keep you updated on Lucy's progress.  I'm considering sewing some of the flowers and leaves to help her out.

The Pineberry quilt along

 

I just love all of Lindsey's quilt patterns from Pen and Paper Patterns.

Her designs are modern and simplistic.

I'm joining the Pineberry quilt along.  I'm using the same background as is shown in the photo below.  I think it's called Kona Desert Sand.


I went shopping at a couple of local quilt shops to find these fat quarters.  I'm so excited to make this quilt, I just hope that I can keep up with the schedule.  That's part of the fun of a quilt along, is being at the same speed as everyone else.


All of the pieces are cut out and labeled. I use the alpha bitties (I have about 7 sets) from Fat Quarter Shop, and Clover clips.


I'm so excited and will show you my progress.  I have about 5 quilts going right now.  It's much more exciting than working on just one quilt at a time :)  

Have a great week!
