looking for checkered fabric (black and white)
Hi All,
A couple of us in my weekly quilting group are looking for tiny, black and white checkered fabric. Not gingham type, just plain black and white checks. We are trying to find it with 8-10 squares per inch. We've seen the one Big Horn currently has, but it has tiny little red dots in the middle of the white squares, and we want just plain black and white. Has anybody seen this fabric? We know it must have existed at one time, because a lot of the diamonds in Quilted Diamonds II have patches made from it. TIA, Becky |

Check your local JoAnn's if you have one nearby. Our superstore
carries black & white checks in 1/8" (and also 1/4". 1/2" 3/4" and 1"). I don't remember the prices but it was mixed in with their regularly priced (cheap) quilting cottons. If they don't have it on hand, they can order it for you. Mickie "Becky" bbkelher@remove spamaculink.net wrote in message ...

Becky, I'll bet the tiny black and white check that I just used in my
friend's quilt would be exactly what you're looking for. It was a Mary Engelbreit fabric. I used it as the border with other material from her line. I bought it at Wal-Mart, but I've seen Mary Engelbreit material at many other quilt stores. Denise in NH |

I've seen the Mary Engelbreit checks at my Wal Mart, too. Also, don't forget
to look in the section that has the Nascar stuff -- usually various sizes of checkered flag stuff there. Debbie in MN http://hometown.aol.com/dmoscarson/m...xtilearts.html |

Uh, Becky, did you check JoAnns? I was just there last night
and they do in fact have 1/8" black and white check fabric exactly like this: (only smaller) http://equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi...?p_prodid=9226 I think it is for $2.99 or $3.99 a yard, I would be happy to pick some up for you if you can't find it locally.
