my Strawberry Fields Forever Quilt-A-Long doll quilt top is finished. i ended up finding a brown (earth) reproduction with pink dots (strawberries) for the zig zag setting but couldn't help myself and had to add the solid cheddar in the form of a skinny outer border . . . hmmmm, does cheddar go with strawberries?

think of it this way: it's a picnic by a strawberry field and the menu consists of a fabulous bread, CHEDDAR cheese and a beverage of your choice with freshly picked strawberries for dessert . . .



i hope the sun is shining on your picnic today~!~

this little top is just a bit wonky and i'm guessing that it's because i hand pieced the blocks by eye and then machine pieced the remainder. i actually like a bit of wonk in my doll quilts as it makes them seem a bit more "genuine" somehow . . .
now i need to start thinking about getting it quilted . . .

~!!~THANK YOU Lori for sponsering this fun and challenging project~!!~
i'm proud to say that i accomplished trying two new things with this little sweetie. using half blocks and using a zig zag setting. loved doing both and will definately use these techniques again.

  1. Hello, hope you are having a lovely weekend :o)

    I would definitely say that Cheddar goes with strawberries as cranberries go with Wensleydale ... very yummy ... as are the colours :o)

    Love

  4. What a wonderful array of fabrics you've used in this little gem. I like the fabric surprises that sometimes show up in antique quilts, like your cheddar border. Can't wait to see how you quilt this.

  5. I like the brown for the setting--brown goes with anything I think. I'm not seeing wonky but will take your word for it. Cheddar looks good too. Sounds like a lovely picnic :)

  7. I was in strawberry fields today, picking, and I didn't see a bit of cheddar! I did end up with nearly 10 pounds of berries, though. Strawberry shortcakes for dinner dessert - yum.
