Scrappy Project Planner Checkerboard Quilt
Today I am sharing a couple table runners that I made using the Checkerboard quilt pattern in the Scrappy Project Planner by Lori Holt of Bee in my Bonnet. I am participating in the Fat Quarter Shop blog tour using the Scrappy Project Planner that I received several months ago from Fat Quarter Shop. You can read my post to learn more about the Scrappy Project Planner.
This was a perfect project to use some of my batik scraps. Whenever I finish a quilt project I cut up all the scraps so they are ready to use for scrap projects. Some of the pieces I save as strips which was handy for this project.
I used neutral batiks for my background fabrics also. The Scrappy Project Planner has full color images too!
It took no time at all to make one block…….and then another! I couldn’t decide if I wanted to make something with brights or browns.
So I made a couple more blocks of each and decided to make a couple table runners. You can never have too many can you!
We have had some nice weather so it was fun to take my table runners outside. 
Both of them are the same size – 12″ x 30″
Be sure to visit the Jolly Jabber today to see other scrappy projects made with the Checkerboard Quilt pattern that is in the Scrappy Project Planner! You’ll want to grab the Scrappy Project Planner accessories also! Don’t forget about Fat Quarter Shop’s Daily Flash Sale!

How do you get the pattern??? Do you have to buy the book? Can you purchase just the pattern…what a great way to use up scraps.
Connie
Hi Margaret, the pattern is in the book. I don’t think there is a way to buy it alone, sorry.
Rosemary Bolton
These are really cute. I love this planner, and all of the inspiration within
Connie

I really like that block Connie.
Connie
Me too Vicki, it is a neat one and great for scraps!
Sherry
Amazing how you begin with small scraps and then by sewing them together you have a larger block. The Table Runners are beautiful.
Connie
Isn’t it neat! I doubt if I’ll ever be able to use all my scraps!
bea
these are great and totally different feel between them, one is fun and playful the other is very modern and fancy in a way.
Connie
Thanks Bea, it is so much fun to use of scraps…..especially batiks right!
Patricia
So pretty! Great use of “trial” blocks! Thank you for sharing!
Connie
Thanks Patricia, it is always fun to actually use up the trial blocks!
