From Making No. 12 / Dusk:
The checkerboard pattern has been used for thousands of years for its dynamic and geometric properties. It is a pattern that stops you in your tracks. This pattern also provides a wonderfully simple template to create your first quilt, and provides a solid foundation for creating more complex patterns in the future. When it comes to color choice, you can go high contrast as we have done here, or create slow gradations; the options are endless. So whether you want to literally play checkers, as you can with this quilt, or play with the aesthetic quality of contrast and saturation, this quilt is the perfect canvas with which to do so. ~ Kristine Vejar
