ann kelle “checkered quilt”
November 15, 2021
With my love of all things checkerboard, I knew a quilt would be a perfect addition to my growing collection of all things checkered. I wanted the quilt to be sweet and cheery and I had a budding suspicion my new Farm to Table fabric would be perfect for this quilt. I found a checkered quilt tutorial by Red Pepper Quilts. I worked with Amanda on this quilt (she’s @rustedsilostudio on Instagram). It was my first time working with Amanda and wow, did she do an AMAZING JOB!!! (Like seriously, if you need a quilt made reach out to Amanda on Instagram @rustedsilostudio)
In addition to the prints from my Farm to Table collection, I picked out some soft, pastel Kona cotton solids. The solids helped with the sweet factor I wanted. For the binding, I couldn’t make a decision and literally took a few weeks to decide. I even did a poll on Instagram for help in selecting which binding to use. Finally, I realized that picking a binding is really about your preference. The yellow binding, pink binding, etc. all looked good. In the end, I went with what I liked the most . . . a scrappy binding. I LOVE it and feel it’s so fun. Enjoy the pics below. And a special thank you to Amanda for making my checkerboard quilt dreams come true!
