Lori began her quilt-along last fall while we were traveling in Oregon and I picked up fat quarters for my project at my favorite quilt shop back there, Boersma's. I haven't used a lot of cheddar in previous quilts but totally fell in love with this fabric, especially paired with the coordinating black and cheddar print. Sadly I only bought a couple fat quarters of each one. That cheddar color has proved difficult to capture with the camera however, and when I try color editing to get the cheddar right, the reds/pinks are way off. Any suggestions on how to better capture all the colors more accurately are appreciated! Anyhow, a close-up:
This was a fun quilt-along and I'm happy it's finally finished. Thanks Lori! Still undecided whether to add a hanging sleeve or find the perfect spot to use as a table topper.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend. One of the grand-dogs will be vacationing at our house for the next week - he's barely reached adolescence, so things may get exciting around here. Til next time ...

That's pretty, I wouldn't think to use that cheddar but it sets the colors off so nicely. I have to find a shady spot outside in the morning to get colors to show right in pictures and that's not even a guarantee. Good luck with the granddog, puppies are so fun but I don't envy you :)
What a cute little quilt. Be careful finishing too many quilts in one week...could set the planet spinning in the wrong direction. Love the colors you chose.
Totally sweet and LOVE the quilting!!!!!!
I love it - especially the cheddar background.
I like the way you have bordered yours.Very nice finish--don't finishes feel good?
Looks hand quilted, am I right?
Great job on this little quilt! Love the quilting. I wish I had added borders to mine, but already trimmed it, ready for quilting. Seeing yours makes me want to finish mine!
Isn't it fun to finish something - especially 2 in one week! I love toile on the back of quilts. Good luck with your granddog!
That is beautiful! I love the era of fabrics which used cheddars a lot, though like you, I haven't personally used a lot. This is a great example of how wonderful they look, even today.
