Checkerish. Is that a word?

I had a great day in class today. It was great to see the students work and see great potential. I have a really great bunch of students this semester.

A pewter checkerish pattern. I will print it out and live with it for a few days to see if I like it. I did hear today that my first fabric samples are on the way. If all goes well I will have some new bow ties soon.
