Checkerboard Rails Update

I stated in a previous post that I wanted to use up some of my hand dyed fabric, and I chose Bonnie Hunter’s Checkerboard Rails pattern to do it.

I had gotten this far:

Rail Fence

Since then, I have made 142 blocks (assuming I counted right).

Layout has begun!

I can’t show the entire layout, since my wall space isn’t big enough, but you get the idea where I am going with this.

Have fun and carry on!

Dust Off A Book Blog Hop

I have followed the Dust Off A Book Blog Hop in the past, not as a participant, but as an interested observer.  I really enjoyed the hop and all the fun projects.

This year, I am participating! I thought this was my first blog hop, but I found one that I did back in 2017, so this is my second blog hop. The previous blog hop was Coastal Mist, and there is a link to a free download for that project for Electric Quilt users.

My day is March 9th, but in the meantime, here is the lineup. Check them all out and get inspired to dust off a quilt book and make something!
