A New Top

It's a top!

It's a flimsy!

60 x 72

I've seen this block called Pieces of Eight and I've seen this block called Cheyenne. I saw a picture and made my quilt with no name. 

I made my set of 30 twelve inch blocks last year when I was working with my collection of '30s reproduction fabrics. I added some muslin as well as some plaids, homespuns and old shirts.

And sew on...

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...
