My Checkered Past, Present, And Future!
At least it seems like these checkered borders are going to take forever! I sewed lots and lots of strip sets Light/Dark/Light, and then Dark/Light/Dark...cut them into 1.5" subsections....and now I have chained them all together into two-sies....ready to be pressed and sewn into four-sies and then eight-sies....etc...

It seems to take a long time when you know how many of those you've got to sew. I once sewed dozens of 9-patches and it was plain fun until I counted and planned and figured out that I needed, like 100 more. Then there's the time I made about 200 miniature 9-patches to make 2 doll quilts! I still have a few piles of those...
Great quilt! Before you know it, it will be done!
don't you wish there was a press feature on your sewing machine so when you sewed the strip it'd press it as you fed it out the back end? :-)
