Yep!! That is the name of a quilt..
.Better with Cheddar is FINISHED to the top stage.... and is too big for my design wall - but I Love it anyways!!
This was started as a Quilt A Long with
Impera Magna back in 2011 - with a Jacobs Ladder pattern from Quiltville.com ..... There's were in floral - me - always the rebel - did plaids.
And then I put it away after only so many blocks.... please do not ask why - I have no good reason....
I got it back out in May - when I entered my "
plaid phase" ( of which I am still in!)
And last night I FINALLY got the last border on. I have no clue what size it is - I forgot to measure maybe 66 x 76 ish???
My boys are the little hands holding the quilt up for me. They asked if it really counts as finished since it is not quilted. I told them if they wanted Ice Cream, they would just GO. WITH. IT.
They were good......
Ta da!!! It is a TOP!!!
Nice job! I love the way the Jacob Ladder design seems to "float" right above the plaids. The colors work well together...you are a GENIUS!!!
ReplyDeleteWell done! That is such a fun quilt!
ReplyDeleteBeautimous! Congratulations on a great finish! Love those plaids... and that's the perfect border too!
ReplyDeletePS - I'll hold up quilts (quilted or no) for ice cream!!!
:)
LOVE the quilt and the name. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have such smart, smart boys.
Love it! I totally agree that cheddar is a great addition to a quilt. Still plugging away at my bowties... only 279 to go~!
ReplyDeleteLove the cheddar....LOVE the quilt. Had to laugh with your sons. Many years ago I would go fabric shopping. The boys would get money to go to the ice cream shop while I was in the shop. One time they came back to the shop just as the total rang up. It was OMG mom. We're telling dad!
ReplyDeleteI love the sharpness of the cheddar color on that blue. Well done!!
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty much AMAZEBALLS if you ask me? LOVE! IT!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! Ice cream = compliance who knew....:-)
ReplyDeleteI love the plaids - and I agree with Judy V - it looked like the ladders are a grid laid on top of the plaid blocks - every time you've shown this I have to force my feeble mind to see the cheddar as integrated into the block and not laying on top!
ReplyDeleteIt almost looks like the cheddar was painted on! I love it!
ReplyDeletedid you send a copy of the picture or the url to Bonnie yet? It's truly an amazing looking quilt and I'm betting that Bonnie will think so too.

It's such a fun quilt. That cheddar with all the plaids looks so cool. Congrats on the finish.
ReplyDeleteI love it. I was in that QAL and I am slower than you! I recently finished my center and have been pondering borders. Your's might work on mine too! Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove how the plaids lookalike they are behind the cheddar. You have a great 3 dimensional looking quilt. Excellent job!
ReplyDeleteAlycia - It's a wonderful quilt! It's traditional yet modern at the same time.
ReplyDeleteBonnie would love to see all that cheddar, even with stripes. Looks like a really fun quilt.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and the cheddar is really great with the other fabrics, wonderful job! Ice cream to hold the quilt? I will have to try that!!
ReplyDeleteYou and I must be related! I love Bonnie Hunter and scrappy quilts. Plaid has always been my favorite! I've got a plaid Moth in the Window in my near future!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful top, Alycia! Just think how amazing it will be once it's quilted!! Whoop whoop for your finish!!
ReplyDeleteI second phxquilt's comment. Too funny, but that is a great quilt with a great name!
