Can't resist a sew along!

No matter how busy I am, it seems I just can't resist a good sew-along.  Especially when it is a reproduction of a vintage quilt!

Gay at Sentimental Stitches is sharing the patterns for a lovely vintage quilt she has in her collection.  She gave it the name Cheddarback from the brilliantly bright color of the backing fabric.  I've had to re-make two blocks because I wasn't happy with a couple of my first fabric choices.   (Medium green did NOT play well with others.)   But, now that I've decided on a more unified and subdued color palette, I love it!

Here's the first two months of the sew along.  I just hope I can keep up with the patterns while they are still free on line and don't miss any months. (Sometimes I get behind on my blog reading.)

My favorite block is the basket - where the plaid ended up quite wonky.   I cut all of the pieces out of a single 6-inch block of fabric.  Classic vintage look!

  1. Very vintage looking! Some of those blocks look like pretty tiny pieces. I love SALs, too--love seeing how similar and different they turn out at the same time.

  2. Looks great so far! I tried to resist, but couldn't hold out. It's going to be a fun SAL!
