What You Need
2 strips cut 31/2" x 7 "
Place dark strip onto light strip. Right sides together. Edges even. Stitch using a scant ¼" seam allowance.
Press seam toward dark strip.
Place sewn strips on cutting mat. Rotary cut in half.
Each unit should measure 3 ½" x 6 ½".
Arrange units so you have a dark square & a light square.
Place units on top of each other so that you have a dark square on top of a light sqaure & a light sqaure on top of a dark square.
Make sure right sides are together. Edges even. Pin the center seams so the folds meet. Stitch.
Your quilt block should resemble a checker board and should measure 61/2" x 61/2"

I really like this one, it seems pretty easy for us beginners yet it has a fancy look. And I love anything with little squares, gingham, checks etc.
Still so elated that your son will get not only the surgery, but someone will get to the bottom of why those vessels are blocked at such a young age, and that your hubby will get that danged gallbladder out!
Hi Holly! This is an easy block but- it can look great depending on the fabrics you choose,
Thanks for caring about my son & hubby!
