checkered past finish

checkered past is finished. It is made using recycled shirt fabric from thrift store shirts.  checkered past is a free pattern from quilted twins. There are only 16 blocks which doesn't sound like very many, but there 48 squares around each center. that's 960 squares. The block is 16 1/2.

64 x 88 =18 yards


I used leftover pieces for the border

I used navy binding and free form swirls quilting

This will be a donation to our local veterans home
