Checkerboard Quilt



I made the checkerboard squares of dark blue calico and unbleached muslin. I used the strip piecing method. The setting blocks are light pink calico and light cream colored calico with a tiny pink floral pattern. The nine squares are 10 inches square, the end result with border being a 36 inch square wall hanging. I have completed the hand quilting, but have not bound the edges. I plan to bind the edges with unbleached muslin. Princess Marie jumped on the sewing machine table as I pinned the quilt to the curtain to take pictures. It's like she knows it's time for a new blog post.
