Default Scrappy Quilt

[ATTACH=CONFIG]584641[/ATTACH]
I recently acquired a die that cuts rectangles 2 x 3 1/2 inches. I reduced my scrap bag considerably by cutting for a week, took my time. I chained and chained and pressed and pined and chained again. This went on for another week. The borders were inspired by something I saw on Pinterest, so the black and white checked fabric. The outer border is actually blue, but looks gray in this photo. The top measures 80 X 102. Today, I felt like I accomplished something big.

I Love it. The checker board border was inspired!

Great scrap usage. Looks like a big pile of Legos. Good job.
