One of my favorite possessions is an old checkerboard made of linoleum squares. I've looked at it every morning for twenty years and thought that would make a great quilt---just four-patches in different contrast pairs.
I finally made a little table topper out of quarter-yard cuts of greens and browns from The Morris Workshop collection. I put a free pattern for it on my webpage so click here to download it. It's towards the bottom right on the home page as "Game Board." http://www.barbarabrackman.com/
I thought I was pretty clever until I found this picture on eBay of what looks to be a double knit quilt top. Somebody else had the same idea!
One of my sisters collects gameboards and I've often thought they would make fun quilts. This is a sweet table topper.
ReplyDeleteyou got it right, great reproduction....
ReplyDeleteI love old game boards. I still need to make a repro one I liked, for a friend of mine. Though, I will be making mine on wood and painting it.
