Whew! Sashing takes a lot time to cut! I cut enough for these blocks and just a few more and I was ready for a break. I'll have to cut some more soon so I can sew the small blocks to the larger ones.
I don't know why I thought the creator of Cheddarback had made up most of these blocks, but as I was looking through several block books, I began to see some of these blocks. One of these days I'll make a list of block numbers and names, but not today.
Many thanks to Gay Bomers for creating patterns for these blocks. You can see the original blocks for this month here, at Gay's blog, Sentimental Stitches.
I'm linking this post to One Monthly Goal - October Finish Link-up at Elm Street Quilts and at BOMs Away at What a Hoot Quilts. Thanks for hosting, ladies.

Just beautiful blocks you've finished!! This will be a wonderful quilt nice work hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julierose. I'm hoping I love the end result as much as I enjoy making the blocks.
DeleteSuch pretty blocks...your color choices are so perfect. I have fallen way behind on this one!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julie. You may be behind on this one but you've finished so many other quilts this year. I don't know how you get so much done!
DeleteLove your blocks. This is a fun sew along. I love seeing what everyone is doing. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Cathy. It has been interesting to see what fabrics all the other participants choose. Some use the original as a guide, some go their own way.
DeleteCongrats on your finish--the blocks look great! I'm so anxious for the next set of Cheddarback blocks to be posted--it's been lots of fun, so far!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Karen. I've been enjoying making the Cheddarback blocks, too. So much variety, so many challenges, so much juggling (for me) to find similar fabrics. Tomorrow! I wonder if Gay will post four more or just two more.
DeleteWhat cute sashing fabric. I bet it feels good to have them sewn and all together. I like the background fabric you used for your lily block. It accents the applique really well.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Robin. The sashing fabric was as close to the original as I found locally. I debated about the red background for the lily block because it's just to the right of the red and white striped block, but I think it will be okay.
DeleteLooks to me like you have made great progress, Nancy. And it does look like a lot of work. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Janet. I think I need to try to keep up with sashing every month and then it won't seem like so much work all at one time.
DeleteGreat blocks. Lovely to see your quilt coming together. I'd highly recommend a book by Judith Hopkins called '501 Rotary Cut Quilt Blocks' if you want to have a catalogue of blocks and their names. Judith's book is wonderful as it gives cutting instructions in six sizes for each of the 501 blocks.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Allison. Thank you for mentioned Hopkins's book. I love it. I don't own a copy but have it on almost permanent loan from the library. (One of these days I'll buy it.) She has a good variety of blocks and I'm so grateful to find 12" versions for most of them.
DeleteThese look really nice! Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and congrats on your finish!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Patty.
DeleteCongratulations on your finish, your blocks look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Karrin.
DeleteThis quilt is coming right along...and looking great!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jennie. I think we're coming up on the halfway point or maybe just past it. It's a long sew-along, as sew-alongs go -- more than a year. But, thank goodness, I'm enjoying it.
