Camping Checkers quilt finish for Mother's Day!

Set up your game - the attached zippered pouch makes this a breeze!

My DS and I couldn't wait for a camping trip to play our on our new camping checkers quilt - guess who won?!?

Later in the day, my DH started a fire for s'mores in the chimnea and we enjoyed 

games of checkers and yummy dessert together!

Draw a line diagonally from where you snipped

Sew with right sides together (this scrappyquilt has a scrappy binding, too)

Sew along the edge to finish.
