Cheddar quilts vintage

I found this photo online (sorry I cannot trace it back to the owner or the photographer) and it was the inspiration quilt for my Stars in a Time Warp. (The antique quilt is (was?) owned by Vintage Blessings. She has a shop on EBay and a FB page. If I recall correctly, she showed the cheddar star picture on FB and said she didn't know if she could let that one go. I haven't seen it for sale but I might have missed it. Someone must have copied her photo and put it on Pinterest without…

I've always liked them, and have a couple of nice examples, but all of a sudden a few days ago I realized I really really want to collect them, in a big way.

Time for a little progress update. I have been doing things, I swear. I got this last minute little table runner on the table on July 4. Actually, I have had it a couple of weeks but only finished the
