Love that Cheddar!


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.

  8. I 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!

  14. Lovely 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.
