AVFKW X Making Magazine – The Checkerboard Quilt Bundle

A simple template to create your first quilt or a springboard for artistry and experimentation, the Checkerboard Quilt is both a home furnishing and social accessory, engaging the maker in natural color palettes and the users in a wonderful take-along piece of art.

We have created bundles using the same materials Kristine used in her project! The Checkerboard Quilt Bundle includes all of the naturally dyed and undyed fabric you will need to complete the project, along with naturally dyed sashiko thread and sashiko needles. Play with the aesthetic quality of contrast and saturation on a dynamic, geometric pattern that has been used for generations.

Want to make naturally dyed checker pieces to go with your quilt? Needle Felted Checkers is another project in Making 12 – Dusk. Add Naturally Dyed Wool Fiber – 8oz to your cart below and needle felt them to go with your Checkerboard Quilt Kit. You will receive a combination of 4oz of light purple and 4oz of dark purple 100% wool fiber. Don’t forget felting needles. 

This bundle does not include instructions. If you need a copy of the Checkerboard Quilt instructions, please make sure to add this to your cart. 

Please note, the Needle Felted Checkers instructions are only available in Making No. 12 / Dusk.
