Smoked Cheddar

The only absolute project I know I will make this year is Smoked Cheddar. Back in the fall, quilty friend Terry purged several kits from her stash. As she offered them up to us Frankfort Girls, she stipulated that we HAD to make whatever we took. This Smoked Cheddar kit with its wonderful baskets and vintage-style fabrics appealed instantly to me, and I grabbed it up.


I am not known to buy kits - I've maybe only bought one in my entire quilting life - so this will be quite a fun little endeavor. I like that all the thinking is done for me. Where to place fabrics and such has already been figured out. I simply need to sit down and start sewing.


I've laid out all the parts and will investigate the instruction next. Do kits come already cut? Maybe Terry got this far and stopped. I don't know. Anyway, making this will be my primary quilting goal for the 3 months we are in Florida.

After I've checked out the instructions and taken a few measurements, I will be able to discern if this yardage (shown below) is setting triangles and border, or just setting triangles. It doesn't appear to be enough for borders, but maybe...

Generally, I am giving much thought to the projects I want to prioritize for the new year. I've had very specific goals lists for quite a few years. After pretty much ignoring the goals I made for '24, I fear that making a list will further jinx me rather than motivate and keep me focused.

I may yet come up with a list of goals for '25, but for now my focus will be on completing Smoked Cheddar.

Happy Quilting, Friends!
