Thimbleberries Fall Mini Quilt Sew Along 2025 -- Darting Birds by Kathleen Tracy

The end of September I cut the little pieces for this mini QA.  I was excited to use fabric I won from  Rouge Quilter, Janet.  She blogs The Rouge Quilter.    The dark pieces are cut.  I still needed to cut neutrals and maroons.


I started this project 9/28/25.  It looked so neatly organized near my sewing machine... But then I sewed a few other projects.  They were a hot mess and piles no more.

I took these pieces to school with me yesterday after cutting the marroons and neutrals.  I threw everything in the bag along with my cut up picnic table cloth.


I started making blocks on this nice little table in the intervention classroom.


They look better all nice and organized.  Before I knew it, I had all the blocks arranged with the fabric combinations I liked.  Now I have nine blocks ready to sew!  I rolled up the little cut up picnic table block holders (mobile design wall) and put them neatly back in my school bag.  It's fun to move this project along.


Next I took it home and sewed this fun little 4.5" (finished) block.


...and yes, I'm playing with those dark Thimbleberry fabrics for the RSC25 to post on Saturday.

The cut up tablecloth is a great idea for a design wall on the go!
