You may recognize this quilt as it was on the cover of American Patchwork and Quilting several years ago and again on a calender. This is one of my favorite quilts although I wish it were a tad bigger. I use most of my quilts, but this one, because of the size, I don't'. And that's OK because I never get tired of looking at it and enjoying it.
I could have paper pieced those flying geese, but I didn't and I'm not sure why!!
I did a bit of hunting and found this in the April 1999 issue of American Patchwork & Quilting magazine. It is designed by Cindy Blackberg.
Be still my heart. This is downright gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteWow!! I LOVE your quilt! I would never get tired of looking at it either. The cheddar is just perfect with all the blue.
ReplyDeleteWow, it's a stunner and I love the colour combo.
ReplyDeleteI remember that issue, and still have it in my collection. It has been on my to-do list for years, and at the rate my list is growing, it'll still be on there when I'm gone! Beautiful quilt!

ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading your blog and love that "Cheddar" quilt. I still have the pattern marked in the magazine and have collected a few blues. It is on my "to do" list.... am happy to see this completed!
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt! I took a class with Cindy for this quilt...a long time ago. I need to find this one and FINISH! Congratulations! It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my all time favorite quilts. I started one years ago, but have not made much progress. I still need to collect cheddars! Thank you for posting it for us to drool over!
ReplyDeleteLovely Lori. You make so many quilts that I would love to make, but there's not enough hours in the day. Lol! You show one, and I think wow, I'm going to make that, then the season changes and you put another one up that I love. Oh well they are lovely to look at anyway! Thanks for sharing them.
