Batik Scrappy Swinging Checkerboards
 

I made this Swinging Checkerboards pattern from QuiltedTwins.com, with my batik scraps and white muslin.

And also finished this man's lap quilt with wood ducks, quilted simply.

Love how your Swinging Checkerboards turned out! Beautiful work.

Very pretty. Good use of scraps

both are very well done

Both are wonderful!!! That checkerboard is awesome.

Wonderful pattern... scrap friendly. It turned out great. I imagine you have a great stash of fabric.

Love them! Thanks for sharing. Karen

Just wondering if you changed the size of the squares for the Swinging Checkerboards? Maybe 2.5" rather than the 2". Like the pattern but 93 X 100+ is a bit large for me "man-handle". Lovely finish and obviously inspiring a number of us.

Thanks for the suggestion of how to use my batik scraps. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours.

I love how your batiks are so bright with the white background. Lovely scrappy!

Your lap quilt is sure to make a guy happy!

Love the Swinging Checkerboards!

Great looking quilts.

Beautiful scrappy, Sewbizgirl. I love the set in triangles being scrappy too. I have never thought of scrapping that up. I always think I have to find enough of a single fabric. Kind of hard for scrappy girls! Thank you for posting. Looks great.

Great job on both quilts. Love the quilting on the Batik scrappy.

very very pretty. nicely quilted front to back.

Thanks! Yes, I used my 2.5" stash of batik scrap squares and everything came out a bit bigger, so less blocks needed to get to the size I wanted. I've done several QuiltedTwins.com patterns with 2.5" squares, rather than 2", because that's what I have.

This one ended up 60"x68", for a twin bed.

Lovely quilts

Your quilts are beautiful. I especially like the first one and that is a great idea of using white muslin. May I ask where you purchase your white muslin? I have been going to LQS to get white on white fabrics but it is getting quite pricey and your muslin looks so nice on your quilt.

Beautiful SBG! Scrappy and batiks are a perfect combination for my liking :) You & your Juki are working quite well together and turning out some beautiful quilts!!

I buy the "premium muslin" at JoAnn's... with a coupon! They have some nice bleached and unbleached muslins, smooth and tight weave just like regular cottons. I don't like it too thin, so I always check them out by placing my hand underneath one layer to see if I like the thickness.

Wonderful quilts.. Great choice in the colors.

Great job on both quilts!

Two more delightful quilts. :thumbup: Isn't it amazing what 1/2" difference makes?

All of these quilts are so-so pretty. You have done a beautiful job.

Thank you Sewbizgirl for your quick reply on the muslin. I will take a look at our JoAnn's. There is one just down the street from me and I always get coupons.

You are welcome... I think the one I buy is 108" wide, if that helps you find it. They have a variety of different qualities, but you'll know a good one when you touch it.

Nice quilts.

Those are beautiful sewbizgirl. Thanks for sharing with us.

Yup, that is where I get my white and cream muslin. It has never failed me but I absolutely by the best JoAnn's offers.

Great quilts Sewbiz.

Love them both!

Love the scrappy batik, my kind of colors! Both very nice!

They are wonderful. What a beautiful arrangement for your batik scraps!

That turned out great! Good job.

Wonderful use of scraps. Beautiful quilts.

Beautiful quilt! I am fortunate to live only an hour from Quilted Twins. The shop is a warehouse and the fabrics are overwhelming. You can’t beat their prices!

Wow, more of your amazing scrappy quilts. I just love your work.

This is great sewbizgirl! I really need to begin using my bins of scraps.
