I made a checkerboard quilt with 8 1/2" blocks got the blocks all done and just pinned the sandwich together but now can't decide how I should quilt it together. I really don't want to SITD I was thinking about putting X's in the blocks but not sure how to go about this. Do I start in the middle and go to corner or do each individual block with the X's. Any advice would be helpful I'm stuck. :cry:

You could do a 1/4 seam inside the squares but I know that's a lot of work. My daughter who never made a quilt wants her first quilt she makes to be just squares of the same size sewn together, which she will be working on this winter. Your quilt is very bright and colorful. Another thought is to "tie" it like a log cabin... Good luck.
