Remember these Cheddar blocks?
I decided to take a break from quilting for a while and work on getting these antique blocks pieced together. I have half of them together. when I get them all pieced I will add a border and I will be one step closer to another quilt.
Here are some pictures of the progress and some close-ups of the great fabrics! I love the secondary pattern that the cheddar and muslin create. (click to enlarge)
Happy Quilting
Tim
I just really LOVE this quilt, beautiful and your hand quilting is going to make it an heirloom for sure.
looks wonderful keep going!

Thanks Kathie….I will post some more about it soon
LOVE this. Can’t wait to see this one quilted!! I bought a top on ebay that was cheddar and brown and blue..wish you were here to quilt it!
LOL…I wish I could do it for you
I love the secondary pattern thats showing up — this is going to be a beautiful quilt when you’re finished.
Do you hand piece or machine piece the blocks together?
That should be that’s, not thats. Should really double-check before hitting post comment!
I am hand piecing these….seem most appropriate for antique blocks to keep them all done by hand
I love this quilt! Do you know what the pattern is called, if it has a name?
I have looked everywhere and I can not find a pattern name for it…..I can usually find just about every pattern there is but this one has me stumped
This is going to be a beautiful quilt. I love the colors! Congrats on your Tree quilts.
Thanks Sandi….I am excited about both!
What a great quilt. I love the graphic look as well as the colors. I guess I’m going to put this on my “Copy Tim’s Quilts To Do List”, I just finished piecing the pyramid quilt with yours as my inspiration. It’s next in line to be hand quilted even though I machine pieced it.
how great!…I would love to see the pyramid quilt!
Tim,,, this is a fantastic quilt. I found something very similar to the block in Barbara Brackman’s Encyclopedia. With creative license, it could be changed to be your block. Check out #3756, page 455. Called Grandma’s Brooch.
also very close to # 2744 and one in block base Called double square….but cant find one exactly like it….she might have made up her own pattern
I love the way the small component blocks disappear into the whole overall pattern! Every time I look at the pictures, I see a different arrangement–in some photos, the cheddar stands out as the focal point; in others, it’s the printed “wheels” that seem to feature. I’m sure that somewhere, there’s a quilter looking over your shoulder approvingly!
Thanks!…It really makes me happy to be able to finish up these old projects from the past and think that the original quilter would approve
So what are you thinking for the border? I so love this quilt…glad to see it coming together!
I have to dig through the pile of “extra” farbic and see what I have…I am not sure what will inspire me….but when I get the blocks all together I will start trying out options
