Game Quilt.

This blanket started after I saw a picture of my great niece waiting for a 4th hof July parade dressed in red, white and blue but sitting on brown and pink blanket.  Yikes, this cannot be so. So I decided I would make a blanket that kids could play games on.  It startedd with the tic tac toe board in the middle.  But, what about the other kids? So, then the checker board emerged on the end.  Then what about a group game where more than two red, white and white and blue kids can play?  So made a game board using photo fabric and deisgned the square on an excel spread sheet. 

This is the game board I made using photo fabric   It is desgned to teach young people how to play games.

Lets play a game!

After seeing a picture of my great niece on a pink and brown fleece blanket for the 4th of July I went into sewing mode.  I thought that if they were waiting for the 4th of July parade to get started  they should have something to keep them occupied.  So I made a checker board that holds real checkers.  In the middle there is a tic-tac-toe board.  At the other end there is a game board I made that has kids do many inter-active moves. The game board can be played with buttons I provided.  (Clever I know)I had it quilted just like a quilt.  I also left more on one end by the game board so that more people can sit around it and play. I think I thought of everything.
