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