Checkerboard - Extra (or substitution)

I thought the postage stamp block was fun.  I enjoyed picking 36 different fabrics.  If you want to make an easier version, go with the checkerboard block.

Cutting:
1 dark and 1 light
1 1/2" x 28  1/2"

Sew the 2 strips together and press toward the dark.  It should measure 2 1/2".  Cut the strip into 3 pieces about 9 1/2" long.






Sew the 3 sections together press toward the dark after each addition






















Cut the joined pieces into 6 - 1 1/2" segments.

Join the 6 segments to complete the 6 1/2" checkerboard block.
