As promised in my last post, it is time for my "Cheddar Madness" giveaway. First, a little background... Many months ago I embarked on a search for a good solid cheddar fabric. I found the Moda Bella cheddar was a good choice for a very bold but not too screeching orange-y yellow. I bought a whole bolt at a very good price from Hancocks-Paducah and started making cheddar quilts. I used it in was my double nine-patch blocks here. Then, I got a call from one of my local shops telling me "the fabric I ordered" had come in. Uhhh, that was nearly six months ago and you never actually told me you could get it. But, I felt bad since they had really gone above and beyond in their search for the fabric. I had to take it off their hands. So, you can see in the photo above that I have a whole lot of solid cheddar fabric and you can help take it off my hands while sharing some little quilts with the rest of us and getting a chance to win the little quilt below.
I would like to have another online quilt show like the red and white one I did back in March 2011. This time it is Little and/or Doll Quilts. To enter, you need to do a post on your blog about a little quilt you've made or own and link it to the online display below. Don't have a blog? Email me the photo and I will post it for you. Then, leave me a quick comment and I will send you a half yard of solid cheddar fabric. Make sure you aren't a "no-reply" commenter so I can contact you for your mailing address. I will enter everyone who posts a link into the giveaway for the little red and brown nine patch quilt above. I have an extra 15 yards of cheddar so the first 30 unique linkers (is that a word?) will get a half yard of fabric. You are welcome to link to more than one little quilt post (that will give you another entry into the little quilt giveaway) but I can only send you a single half yard cut -- I want to spread the cheddar love around.
Submissions will close on November 19 and the quilt winner will be picked on the 20th..Adding your link is simple, just click on the link button below and follow the instructions. On the part that asks for a name you can use just your first name or the name of your quilt if you want. I will get us started with a link to one of my small quilts...

Oh! I'm loving that little quilt of yours! And yeah.....we can never have enough cheddar! :o)
I love cheddar fabric, but sometimes it is indeed very hard to find. Love the idea of an online quiltshow. Marina.
I have so many I couldn't decide! Everything better with cheddar!
First, thanks for this give away, and ....I haven't got anything with that cheddar color!!, so it would be a nice opportunity to try something new.
I would be more than happy to get you quilt!,
......or maybe you don't accept entries overseas....anyway you are welcome to visit my blog.
Thanks, Taryn, for hosting this quilt show -- it's so fun to see all the little quilts and discover new (to me) quilters.
I would love to use your cheddar fabric in doll quilt.
You are so sweet! Love your little quilts posted...so pretty!
Can't wait to see all these wonderful little quilts! You're so generous to share your cheddar with us all - thanks so much!
Lots of great little quilts. thanks for sharing your cheddar.
Seeing everyone's doll quilts is so much fun! Thanks for letting us play. I don't complete many quilts, but I loooove looking at quilts and playing with reproduction fabrics.

What a fun giveaway! I've only completed a couple little quilts in all of my quilting endeavors, but I'm starting to understand the charm of it! Great idea for the link up.:)
I LOVE cheddar! Even though I'm not really into quilting right now (as I said on my blog), I hope someday it will have meaning to me again.
Ooooh oh I would LOVE some Cheddar fabric. This little quilt is finished and it was so much fun to make that I'm thinking I will make another one SOON. :)

Love your little quilt! Such a fun thing to have a chance to win. I am all about little quilts lately.
And I am amazed at the generosity in sharing your bounty of cheddar. I can never find it in the shops near me. I'm excited to have some to play with. Thank you!
I don't blame you for feeling a little obligated to take the extra fabric. I hope they gave you a good deal. Thanks for letting me be part of this fun give-away.
How absolutely wonderful!!! I'm doing a SAL in all solids and this will be a wonderful addition!! Such a grand gesture!!
Your little nine patch is adorable!!! Stars are my favorite - but nine patches are a very, very close second!!
Blessings
What fun! Yes - cheddar is extremely difficult to locate and I live in Wisconsin:o) You would think that color would be everywhere...well we do have our Green Bay Packers in green and a version of cheddar...
Will be visiting all those other fabulous little quilts!
What a fun giveaway. Since I have no blog I have emailed you a photo of my small red and white quilt. Love mkinf these small quilts.
That's a lot a chedda!! When working on my Jubilee I ordered small swatches an amazingly they were all very different! What a fun "little" show!!

Thanks to Budsgram for posting your giveaway on her blog!
This is a great giveaway and I love me some cheddar. I'm slowly trying to accumulate some here and there for a quilt that I have in my mind. I love checking out all the links of people that have posted.
Great giveaway! I love cheddar--thanks!
Repro to modern - love them all!
That looks like a nice cheddar, I have a bolt of RJR Saffron, and also have yards and yards of cheddar from Marcus Brothers Centennial Solids. Have fun with your give away.
Love your little quilt. And that cheddar is just so tempting!
Taryn, I have linked to you in my blog just now. This is a wonderful way to see inside the collections of various bloggers. Thanks for hosting, and thanks for the offer!
oh how i love cheddah. i buy it when i see it but so much of it these days is either school bus (too yellow) or papaya (too orangey)so my stash is very low. thanks for the chance to win and i do so love your little quilt
I love cheddar! I'm making Barbara Brackman's block of the week with cheddar fabric, and I would love to have some of your cheddar fabric! Thanks, and I love your little quilt.
Thank you for holding the show! I'm just in the process of linking up now - and I'm so pleased I discovered your blog!
Hi Taryn Just so love your little quilt. It is just gorgeous.
I have linked my 12 days of Christmas quilt posted in September. Updated it to tell people to come to your site.
Love that Cheddar
Cheers
Lynne
This is so much fun, thank you
This is an amazing giveaway! The little 9-patch is adorable!
I love the quilt and am very interested in the cheddar. Love to see what it would do with the fabrics I already have.
how fun!!
I was able to get #50 - my Jubilee Number, lol
thanks for the show, was sorry to miss the cheddar, but happy you have so many doll quilts on show!
Thanks for hostessing such a wonderful online quilt show! Cheddar is such a difficult color to find - what a generous give-away!
Thanks for the opportunity to share a few of my little quilts. I chose three with an Autumn theme. My entries are too late for the cheddar giveaway, but I'd prefer a chance to win your lovely little quilt anyway. What a great quilt show this will be!
You are so very kind, but I have to say, I am glad I'm not the only one who does things like that (get things I didn't know I ordered:) Have a beautiful day.

Just curious why my links, #51-53, have red X's next to them. Did I submit them correctly? Perhaps they are awaiting preapproval.
So love your little quilt shows. I've added one of my favorite little quilts to the show link list. (try to say that three times real fast)!
The red "X" has to do with deleting the entry, which I then accidentally did. Oops.
HI! I'M LOVING VIEWING ALL THESE LITTLE QUILTS! DON'T YOU LOVE THE SCRAPPY ONES? AND THE OLD-FASHIONED ONES TOO! YOUR LITTLE RED/WHITE IS SO ATTRACTIVE! THANKS FOR SHARING!

I saw this mentioned on another blog and came to see all the little quilts. I did enter one of mine. Fun!
what is the maximum size? I have a baby quilt I would like to maybe enter.
i've come over from Cheryl's 'So Many Quilts, So Little Time' and am pleased to have discovered you as well as the little show. i'm sure i have a post that i can link into with a little quilt to show . . . and i can hardly wait to start checking out all of the entries.
your little give-away quilt is sweet and clearly you are quite generous as the cheddar give-away is an awesome thing to do.
i'll have to note down the color and line and see if i can find some for my own stash.
THANK YOU for this great show and multi give-away post.

What a fun idea Taryn! Your first little quilt inspired me to start cutting tiny 1in x 7/8in scraps to make really small quilts. I just hate throwing any fabric away lol. Cheddar is such a great colour to use in quilts, it just makes them sing.
Cutting 11/4in by 7/8 it should read above. Sorry.
Love your little quilt and I'm looking for some cheddar love :-)
Muito lindo e generoso o seu prêmio,obrigada.Sou brasileira.

What a wonderful link up Taryn!! I'm enjoying the little quilts very much. 2 plus bolts - lol! That's a lot of cheddar :0)
Thanks for hosting this show. Fun to see all these minis. They sure do stitch up fast by machine.
Nice doll quilt show :0).
thanks for the chance to win and to see all these adorable quilts.
Happy Sewing
Thanks so much for this fun giveaway! I have been sitting here looking at all the wonderful 'little quilts'...lots of eye candy and also lots of fun ideas for future reference. Hugs...
I've been looking for the exact right fabric to use to sash a large sort-of African themed quilt. Cheddar might not sound like the right color but it is! I've auditioned gray and black and beigh and nothing brought out the colors and patterns of the fabrics. I am now sold on cheddar! I've also LOVED looking through the quilts on your blog.
I've been wanting to try something with cheddar, but, I've not seen any in the stores. Thanks for the chance.
I just went through and photographed the rest of the other doll quilts I had. Did not realise that they had not had their moment of fame :-)
Love the parade
Cheers
Lynne
