Would you like cheese on that?
Of course! Everything looks better with cheddar. I’ve been saving 1-1/4″ squares whenever I cut for a repro project and keep them in a little plastic box. When it starts to burst, I put together a little quilt. Many of my recent scrappy projects have been turning out a little too…well…scrappy. So, I tapped into the cheddar fabric hoard. The one I used is by Bonnie Blue (Marcus Fabrics) and it is a real favorite. Since most of the fabrics are from Judie Rothermel’s lines I am calling this one, “Say Cheese Judie.” Cheesey, I know.
This is my little storage box. Don’t you just love cute little boxes? When I am cutting my stars (at the top of the photo) I cut a couple of extra 1-1/4″ squares and stash them away for a quick fix project later.
Update: the fabric is already spoken for – Congratulations Teresa!
Finally, I’ve been culling through my fabric collection lately and have a stack of fabrics I am willing to send to someone who can appreciate them more than me. All of the fabrics in the photo above fit into a medium USPS box and I will send them to the first person who says she (or he, but I don’t think I have a lot of male readers) wants it. Not a giveaway contest; you claim it first and it is yours. Sorry, I can only ship this one to continental U.S.
Beautiful little quilt.
What a darling little cheddar quilt. I love your idea for cutting extra little squares and those boxes are great — you are way more organized than I am.
Very cute little cheddar quilt! and cute name!
I love the way you did the give away –
congrats teresa – she's a lucky duck!
Your little quilt is so perfect! I love the cheddar
Yummy cheddar-y goodness! What a nice gesture to share your repros with Teresa. ~~Lisa
Lovely fabrics heading Teresa's way! I like a bit of cheddar – and I'll have granary bread with pickle please!
1 1/4 inch squares–my favorite size! I love the cheddar, of course.
Lucky Teresa! Lovely little cheddar 4-patch. I think I have some of that cheddar fabric, too. I try to be organized, but don't always succeed. Thanks for the ideas.
Who would have thought we quilters would all turn into cheddar lovers! Cheddar does make everything better! Love the little quilt!
great little quilt I need one too!
I make little blocks like that too and save them for the future 🙂
oh lucky her getting all that beautiful fabric!!!!

Kathie
Love the little boxes too! Great idea to save the scraps in squares already to go into a cute little quilt
The little cheddar is very cute. I keep little stashes of 4 patches to be used later as well.
Well, doggone, missed the giveaway. However…I love the cheddar quiit and I must say your method of storing itsy pieces is fabulous.
Your cheddar quilt is adorable. Wouldn't mind owning one like that. Can I make a copy for myself?
Taryn, how did you make the collage of red quilts in your header?

Love the cheddar, a colour I love.
Congratulations to Teresa for receiving this wonderful gift of fabrics.
Christine
Love your quilt to! yes, cheddar with that please…
Say Cheese Judie is yummy! I see everyone being so neat and organized and aspire to get there someday!
You make me laugh 🙂
Love the quilt. And you boxes. I really can't believe that you do such tiny, equisite quilts. I even have one of yours at home to prove it, and I still don't believe it! Gorgeous work!
Really adorable cheddar quilt!
Love the idea of storing small squares in cute containers for future projects too!
A nice helping of cheese on a sandwich is good so why not on a quilt! Looks good.

Oh please oh please – that's so very generous! Looks like a few minis could be made with all of that!
What a fun little thing you collect and turn into such a lovely quilt! I should also start saving my 1 1/4" squares from the binding strips left over. Thanks for a great idea! I love your little containers to store the scrap squares. Where did you find them?
