My August OMG........

Was to finish making my checker board blocks.   In my last post 4 more blocks were needed to be made.   They have now been done and after much playing around a final layout  was decided on.  My aim was to get an even mix of colour throughout the top both with the colours and the black and white borders.    


As you can see some of the border fabrics are solids and some have more white than black in them  but I am happy with the distribution.

Linking with Finished or not Friday,  Elm Street Quilts & Oh Scrap.

Back soon and in the meantime


Happy sewing all
