Day 2 Giveaway: Fabric!
Stash Bandit is celebrating with 10 days of giveaways and this is Day 2!
I recently finished piecing a throw-size version of a quilt called Maisy Daisy, which I ran across in a back issue of McCall’s Quilting. Its scrappy deliciousness called to me.
Then I made the exciting discovery that McCall’s put the pattern online at no charge, so if you like it, be sure to grab it here.
The quilt was designed by Maho Schwartz. I made just 12 blocks but the original has more. Totally up to you!
I’ve started doing something different when I cut for my scrap quilts. I slice extras! So today’s giveaway is all of the extra strips that I cut when I was making Maisy Daisy, along with enough dark blue Peppered Cotton to make and bind the throw-size quilt. And that’s not all!
I’m also sending enough cheddar Peppered Cotton for all of the cornerstones. If you like cheddar the way I like cheddar, you can use it. And if you don’t, you can give it to a friend!
To enter the Day 2 giveaway, leave a comment by midnight Thursday, Feb. 25 and tell me your opinion of fabric that’s the color of cheddar cheese. I’ll pick the winner randomly and post it here late Friday. This giveaway is for US addresses. The winner of the giveaway is Ann Hudson. Thank you all for taking part!
Thanks for visiting Stash Bandit today! Now this:
Register for the next free class on Scrap Quilt Secrets.
Sundays at 2 pm CST through March. Each session stands alone so if you miss one, you’re never behind!

I have not really worked with cheddar fabrics other than a Halloween fabric that was close to a cheddar. However, have read several articles about them. Feel it would be a challenge for me.

First of all, let me say…….I LOVE this quilt……on the to do list, whether I win the prize or not. lol I have mixed feelings about the color of cheddar………I love old quilts made with it especially with navy fabric. It’s not the first color I’d choose for most quilts……..but then, my mom had her house painted cheddar with a red door. It was crazy loud, but she loved it.

I own several cheddar colored tshirts and I have a coupla batik cheddar fabrics. I adore this color fabric, so bold and so golden yellow.

I found the blog. I like how the navy color brings all this together. It uses stash and scraps but doesn’t look like just busyness.

How many times have I said, āThis quilt needs more orangeā? (Lots)
Terry Marcus

I love that pattern and would love the fabric from your stash!!!
Caryn S

I am actually learning to appreciate Cheddar fabric now that I have seen it more modern quilts. I love Peppered cotton and I am getting into scrap quilts. Thanks for the pattern link.

I love the cheddar color.
Cindy Golding

I remember that pattern. I enjoy peppered cottons and who doesnāt think others stashes are better than your own.
Nancy Smith

I love all things orange wish. In fact, that’s the color of my front door.

The cheddar-colored fabric contrasts beautifully with the dark blue fabric in the Maisy Daisy quilt. It adds pizazz!
Diane B Paul

I’m fine with cheddar in small doses but if I’m trying to mimic an antique quilt it definitely has a place in my stash. I have a load of 1 1/2 inch strips so this is definitely a quilt I plan to make in the next year.

Holy Mackerel! I love these scraps and hope I’m the only one who registers so I’m sure to win! The cheddar is wonderful with the dark blue.

I used to dislike cheddar and orange fabrics. But my taste in color and various prints keep evolving. I am beginning to love the orange/yellow color spectrum!
Pat Davis
| #
I think the Cheddar colored fabric would be a great one to pull things together. Perfect for sashing!
Beth T.

I love cheddar, which is a complete turn-around for me. When I was younger I had a very strong, negative opinion about anything orange. So glad I have opened myself up to its charms.

Love a great daisy quilt. Scrappy is the best!
Barbara

Cheddar reminds me of quilts from earlier times in history. I am not quite sure if this is correct, but I have it in my mind that cheddar was a more stable dye color for fabric, perhaps made from dyes created from flowers and vegetables. In any event, it makes me think of the long history of quilts

Loooove, looooove, looove cheddar! I am always drawn to the warm part of the color spectrum, and cheddar is just about the most perfect hue.

I love cheddar with navy blue and also in civil war quilts!! Loved your class yesterday!
Jane Freeman
| #
I must admit it is not my favorite! It does look very nice with the navy though.
Julie Boyd

I love scrappy quilts and yours is beautiful! What a fun giveaway!!
Marty

Diane, I love it! Anything yellow, or cheddar, bits and pieces are a wonderful contrast and complimentary color, pulling esp scrap quilted blocks together.
Thank you for this quilt link too! Iāll be making it, and using a yellow/cheddar as you have!
June Dodge

Cheddar is a great color. I like for even more than corner stones.
Would be fun to get your leftover strips. Thanks for the chance.
Enjoyed your first scrap savvy talk. Hope you get many guilds to hire you so even more can learn and be guided by you!

Of course I love cheddar. I am from Wisconsin!
Packers are green and cheddar, I mean gold…lol.

Cheddar (orange) always looks best I believe when matched next to a darker fabric, especially navy & black. I prefer dark backgrounds to white. This color reminds me of part of the Sunsets I try to duplicate. If you notice every place is different depending on the minerals in the air at that time. There is usually orange involved. I could go on how many ways I’ve used Cheddar but this is too long now. Thanks for asking.
Beth Schneider

I think cheddar fabric makes any color pop in a quilt. I love yours with the navy sashing & borders!
Carrie

I heart cheddar fabric so hard! Thereās something about that bright gold orange that screams happy! It also works with so many other color combinations, itās very versatile.
Sue Heisler
| #
I love cheddar!! The way you put it with the blue and bright scraps was so clever! It makes everything pop. I saved that pattern and have it on my to do list. Thanks for sharing!
Christine Collins

I love cheddar fabric, it works with modern and reproduction fabrics equally well.
Julie

Colorado resident here so blue and “cheddar” are Bronco colors. We see a LOT of that combination around here. I am new to quilting so the “leftover” strips would be a great addition to my small stash. I can’t wait to try this pattern!
Anne Buckley

I donāt believe I have ever used cheddar cheese colored solids in a quilt but I sure have enjoyed the shade in batiks for the bright sunshiney quality it gives!
Sally H

I love this quilt!. The cheddar cornerstones keep your eyes moving around the quilt without being overpowering.
Lily

I love the contrast between the cheddar and the navy! I think itās really interesting!
Linda Ferguson

Cheddars is a deep gold or orange! Cheddar is better!
LeAnn Frobom

I prefer my cheddar (cheese and fabric) in small slices. It looks great with the navy in youquilt!
Betsie Bergman

The navy fabric matches great with the cheddar! I enjoy eating Chedder slices while Iām on a sewing break!

Love this so much š

Love this so much š My niece’s favorite color is orange so she’s convinced it has to be featured in EVERY project so cheddar would fit in well at our house š

Perfect for son in Navy submarine service! Love this scrappy quilt.

I am a stripper at heart — nothing pleases me more than creating fabric from strips. It
instantly becomes my favorite fabric! And Pepper Cory’s peppered cottons are a delight to me — I started out in fiber as a weaver, so the tabby weaves just sparkle in our quilts.
Cheddar is one of my favorite colors but not my favorite cheeses. I’d love to win your strips and incorporate them into my next project. Maybe Maisy Daisy.

I have never used cheddar, but looks good with the navy–guess it’s the color of a full moon!!
Ginger Johanningmeier

Ok cheddar cheese is my color. I am a ginger. I have worked in the color orange ( cheddar ) into most of my house. With pinks, light browns and yellows. Sounds bad when I say it out loud. But I think itās kind of cute. Oh yeah, I love Cheetos too! Lol
Amanda Adams

I love the contrast and warmth it gives your navy background. Cheddar can be deep gold or light orange and I love it in all its variation! Mild, medium, sharp, on crackers, on quilts…. cheese me! š§ šš

I like Cheddar as an accent color ( actually, I like orangey colors anywhere!) but it plays so nicely against the darker colors!
Maree Whitley

Cheddar is a great grounding color. I use it with reds, navy, indigo, purple, green…anything but pink really.
Wendy Johnston

Thanks for the pattern and the chance to win the cheddar fabric! I havenāt sewn with cheddar, but I do like the perkiness and brightness that cheddar adds to a quilt.
Karen Bauman
| #
Interesting that you should ask! I am planning a red background quilt and just realized that I don’t have near enough cheddar.
Dawn Denny
| #
Would love to make this quilt using that cheddar color that gives it the wow factor.
Wish I could afford it even if I don’t win but I am currently unemployed… so it probably won’t happen..

Cheddar and Navy – LOVE!! When I first starting quilting I was drawn to the quilts that had solid cheddar in them, and I still am – it adds just a pop of amazingness to each!

Cheddar is one of my favorite colors….used standing alone or with other complimentary colors. It is a great POP of color!!!

Meredy Mullen

I love your scrappy quilts. And I have been looking at cheddar colored fabric lately, but have yet to dive in and buy some.
Liz Horgan

I don’t mind cheddar, but I don’t use it a whole lot!
Theresa Davey

I love how the colors pop. Such a wonderful quilt.
Jane Holbrook

Hi Diane! Thank you for the generous giveaway! I LOVE cheddar fabric, especially peppered cotton. Yum! No calories, no allergies, just yum. I love to use it as a contrast. It brings zip to all the other colors. It is old fashioned and so modern. I first learned about “pushing neutrals” from Mary Mashuta, another scrapaholic. I love how yellowed or greyed fabrics push the envelope. I think whoever you pick is super lucky! Jane
Nancy Rose

I think a little cheddar would be a welcome addition to any of my scrappy quilts! Iāve been stuck in gray-land for too long.
Bonny

Really love the quilt. The cheddar actually seems to anchor the pattern, and gives the eye a place to rest. Love it!
Mona Phelps
