size great for blouses, shirts and smocking projects.
Put the code JP15 into the tag search box on the main Spoonflower shopping page to easily pull up matching solids as well as a wide variety of coordinating designs in the same colors.
The word check, per this article on Wikipedia, originated from the Persian word "shah," meaning "king." The word entered the French language as "echec" in the 11th century, and from there passed into English. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_(pattern)
This commonly used pattern, you see, came from the oriental game of chess, which was played on a squared board.
Checked fabric can be used effectively in a manner similar to gingham.... on a lamp shade, a pair of casual curtains, or throw pillows, for instance. Checks, of course, are always a great choice for shirts and blouses. If you are wanting to create a country look in your home décor, checks can be used for curtains, pillows, place mats, dinner napkins, or a tablecloth. Combine them with a coordinating solid for bedding linens. The sky’s the limit, really.
For fun quilting options, combine a checked fabric with a floral and a stripe or a solid. Fun, fun, fun!
If you need any of my designs in a different size, just ask! Thanks for stopping by my shop!
