Missouri Star Quilt Blocks

Having fun making one of Missouri Star's quilt patterns called Checkerboard. I am using a jelly roll of yellows, batik greens and fun blues from Laurel Birch Designs.  Then I am using a light gray for background and a medium gray for the sashing. I have enough fabric to make at least 2 nice sized quilts especially with the perfect border fabric that just came into the shop last Friday. Ellen set aside 5 yards for me. Pics will come later.

FYI: Laurel Birch jelly rolls, charm packs and layer cakes are available at Quilts at the Marshall House.

The block. 9 inch finished.

One row of blocks done so far. All the cutting is done and was easy with jelly rolls. Blocks sew up fast.

Picture of the Checkerboard quilt is on the cover of one of the latest Missouri Star books.
