Midnight Cheddar by Pam Buda

Step into the rich, warm colors of the late 19th century with Midnight Cheddar by Pam Buda for Marcus Fabrics. Perfect for our 1865–1900 collection, this beautiful line pairs glowing cheddar and rust tones with deep blacks, warm browns, soft tans, and aged creams for a wonderfully antique-inspired look.

The collection features an appealing mix of small florals, paisleys, vines, sprigs, and traditional coordinates—the kinds of prints that work beautifully in reproduction quilts. The contrast between the warm cheddar shades and nearly black grounds gives the collection wonderful depth and makes those rich oranges really shine.

Building on Pam Buda’s earlier Cheddar and Coal designs, Midnight Cheddar is especially suited to Civil War–era and late-19th-century inspired quilts, scrappy projects, log cabins, stars, and traditional pieced blocks. Use the collection together for a dramatic period-inspired palette, or mix individual prints into your reproduction stash.

Midnight Cheddar has that wonderful collected-over-time feeling we love—dark, warm, a little moody, and full of possibilities for your next reproduction quilt.
