Checkerboard Cherries

I'm very excited about the latest McCall's Quilting magazine (December 2008 issue). My quilt Checkerboard Cherries is on page 32! The quilt is 74" square and uses black and white fat quarters, making this quilt made a small dent in my fabric stash. Although the cherries and leaves are red and green, the quilter could use almost any applique motif for the blocks. The triangular border was fun to do and it was quilted by Daphne and myself. Many thanks to my friend, Carol, for coming up with the name for this quilt.
