Checkerboard Linen in Blue and Cream

Blue and cream checks run across folded linen, but weave direction and soft creases keep repeated squares from becoming interchangeable. Folded corners cast narrow shadows along the table, giving the pattern a useful frame.

Join one complete check before spreading outward, using thread lines to confirm color matches. Keep plain cream pieces near their crease marks; broad blue areas are easier once folds have set the layout. Fold lines interrupt the checkerboard and show exactly where a blue square changes from top surface to crease.
