Blogger's Quilt Festival Entry

So I have never done this before. 

I am entering my completed Checkerboard Quilt 
that I made as a gift for a cousin in Poland earlier this year in the  
I used 32 black and 32 white ten inch pre-cut squares. 
It is backed with a wide white flannelette with a simple red binding all done by machine.  




Totally original. 
Totally simple. 
Totally completed.




The machine quilting uses a black and white variegated thread left over from some other project. 
I did simple wavy lines going through each intersection 
to keep it somewhat even. 

Blessings
Chris

  2. The second quilt I've run into from the festival that utilized organic or squiggly quilting. It was my first time quilting a creation using that method.

  8. I just HAD to take a closer look! At first, it appeared that you were only showing a photo of a marked quilt that was waiting for quilting. That variegated thread does add interest.
