A novel way to keep the littles (or those of us little at heart) occupied at a picnic or reunion, parked in the shade.
Your version is beautiful. Good job!
Great idea! I thought it would be nice a quillow pattern. It would be really easy to sew a pocket on the back and add handles to the pocket, fold up the quilt along with the checker pieces, tuck inside the pocket and TADA your ready to go!
