Cheyenne Quilt Blocks
12 inch finished
I saw a picture of the block and decided it was a good one for some old '30s reproduction fabrics plus plaids and shirtings. Last time I showed the blocks I asked the name of the block and a commenter replied it was called Cheyenne. Well, I googled Cheyenne quilt block and found directions for it at several different sites if you are so inclined to make blocks yourself. I cut my HSTs with an Easy Angle ruler and don't usually use patterns but Delaware Quilts is one of the sites that has instructions for a 12 inch block.
With these blocks I now have 30 blocks - a complete block set- for a layout 5 x 6 and a finished quilt size of 60 x 72 inches - a nice comfort quilt size.
And now, you guessed it...the block set goes into the SAR (Some Assembly Required) box to be assembled at a later date -- some time this winter when I'm not spending time in my gardens.
And sew on...

Ooooh, SAR is a new-to-me term that I love. The blocks look great, and enjoy your time in your garden!
Lovely blocks. Some great combinations of fabrics.
I had seen that block before too and never knew the name of it. I think it is one I might play with in the winter.
You've got a great assortment of che ks and plaids in these blocks. But I'm guessing you've got plenty more waiting to be cut and stitched.
Never seen this block before but it's a nice size at 12" finished, it looks so good with your reproduction fabrics.
I really really like those blocks!!!!
Put that on the top of the SAR pile - I want to see it all done ;-)
A great scrapbuster!
