Cheddarback Quilt Progress

I finally have finished all the published blocks for Cheddarback quilt. Although tomorrow is October 1st and another set will be released!  So, in between marking My Trailing Vines quilt I decided to cut the sashing and cornerstone blocks.  Well of course, than I had to put the first months blocks together.  You guessed it, I have now finished sewing 5 months worth of blocks.  I think I will still wait to sew each monthly section together because it will  be easier to store these without wrinkling them up if the are smaller units.  Hopefully tomorrow I can stitch the last two months together.  I told myself once they are completed I really need to focus on getting My Trailing Vines basted.  I really really want to start hand quilting it this weekend.


I am so loving the simplicity and scrappiness of this quilt.  It has a real farmhouse look don't you think?    Looking forward to downloading the next blocks and getting My Trailing Vines basted!  Funny how when fall arrives, I always get into a quilting mood!

  1. I love this quilt too. And you're right, it has a real homey feel to it. I love the sparkle that comes because of your fabric placement in that green basket.

  2. Your blocks look wonderful! I haven't made a final decision on the sashing fabric for my blocks yet but I do have my fabric picked for the cornerstones. I am still woefully behind on making my blocks!

    1. I agree the sashing with the red cornerstones really anchor all the different scraps I am using.

    1. Thanks, the sashing fabric is similar to what the original had and I think it really helps bring all those scraps together.

    1. Thanks, I ordered new glasses today too bad they don't come in until the 9th. I hope doesn't take me too long to adjust to them.
