Happy Memorial Day

I hope everyone is having a relaxing Memorial Day.

Please take a minute and thank someone that

has served our country or the family of a soldier

 who payed the ultimate sacrifice. We are so fortunate

to have people who are willing to serve.

Here is a quick pattern for a Patriotic Checkerboard.

Start with about 1/4 yard of red, white and blue fabric.
Cut red fabric into thirty two 1-1/2" squares.

Repeat with white fabric.

Piece checkerboard together using photo above.

From blue fabric cut four 1-1/2" x width of fabric strips.

(2 strips for border and 2 strips for binding)

Add border to checkerboard center. 

Quilt as desired and bind with single thickness binding.

 

Make checkers using 1" round wooden disks. 

I got mine at Hobby Lobby and painted

 them with red and blue acrylic paint.
