Looks like a fun thing to have ... how large are your checker board squares?

Love the bag, but I would have to call it "Hold this, dear" as my husband gives me things to carry in my bag, such as broken screw drivers (in case we go to Sears) bolts (in case we go to the hardware store so he can match them up), a 30' tape measure (in case we are somewhere where he wants to measure something) and, well, you get the picture. My bag weighs 50 pounds!

1" squares so the board is 8" x 8", I usually pick up fat qtrs in different size checkerboard sizes to make the boards out of, I'm using them on mug rugs, and I have a larger size I'm using on a game quilt

And here I thought you were doing patchwork ... like the mug rug idea! that'd be fun! :)

Fix him ... and tell him if he wants it to come along, then he carries it! :)

Here's the backgrounder on that ..... When we used to go to farm/trade shows, my husband would pick up all sorts of literature, and pass to me to carry. I got tired of being the pack mule, when none of it was stuff I was bringing home. Finally, I decided, hey, why take my purse? So without a purse, I had no where to put it. There were bags handed out to put stuff in (which I refused to carry) so it was all up to him!Interesting, how little there was that came home from then on!!
