instead of the traditional white.
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. It is, of course, 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 design in this collection in a different size, just ask! Thanks for stopping by my shop!
