Wizard's Chess Quilt

I pieced this quilt a year ago from a pattern in McCall's Quick Quilts magazine.  The pattern is available for sale online.   I loved the cover quilt and picked up the issue for that quilt.  I collected fabric and finishing piecing the top in May 2018.  I basted it for quilting in November and now it's quilted and bound!

I love this quilt, the contrast, the blues/purples, and the checkerboard.  Mine resembles the original, not something I do all the time, but the maker picked such great colors!

 It is hard to see teh quilting detail.  I did straight lines in the white checkerboard and then a swirly design in each of the blocks.

 The backing from the massive amount of leftover checkerboard I had.  I was making the quilt bigger than the pattern and slightly miscalculated how much checkerboard I needed!
