Free Motion Quilting Design #19 – Checkerboard
Do you like playing checkers? I have an awesome new free motion design for you today called Checkerboard:

Inspiration: I was pondering Circuit Board and wondering if I stuck with the same idea: straight, intersecting lines, but what would happen if I put the whole thing on a grid?
Thus Checkerboard was born!
Difficulty Level: Intermediate. Getting the lines right to start can be tricky, but otherwise this is a fairly easy piece to fill.
Design Family – Edge to Edge.
Directional Texture: This is a very attention getting design, so although I don’t think it has full directional texture, we’re going to have to call it something different, maybe “Attention Getting”?
Suggestions for Use: The lines draw your eye, so you’ll want to put this design where you don’t mind a little distraction. So placing it behind a very complicated applique block would be a bad idea. Maybe in the sashing or over simple, pieced blocks like 9 patches.
Let’s go quilt,

I LOVE this design. I should really try it out on one of my quilt tops. I've got a great Katie Pasquini Masopust fabric in my stash that is similar except that the lines are more curvy.
I just found your site through Laura's site and I am so impressed! I just added you to my blog roll so I'll be back.
