Board Game Quilts
Posted 02-25-2013 by Heidi | Posted in: Downloads Heidi Finds
Such a cute idea! Some of these game quilts are made to use as quilts…but some are made to actually be used as board games. I found Scrabble, Backgammon, Twister, Trivial Pursuit, Chutes and Ladders, Parcheesi, Checkers or Chess (you might have a quilt you can use for this already), and even hopscotch (which isn’t a board game, I know, but its’ so cute I included it anyways). There are even quilts that have multiple game boards combined into one quilt. Of course, you can make these in EQ. I made a Scrabble quilt. I started with a horizontal 15 x 15 quilt. (You could add white sashing if you want.) I colored the squares according to the game board. I found a five-pointed star block and modified it a little to be the center star. Then…..I used EQStitch (!!!) to do the game board wording (double letter score, etc.).

A very popular Pinterest project is a family Birthday Board. Very cute and practical too! Just like the example shown, the boards usually have the word “Birthdays” or “Family Birthdays” painted somewhat largely on the board. Then “JFMAMJJASOND” which are the initials of all the months of the year, towards the bottom. The idea is that you have a bunch of wooden circles. Each circle has one family member’s name and date of birth. So if your birthday is April 14th, you would have your name and the number 14 on a circle. Then you would hang it under the first A (for April). It’s a great idea…and of course you could make it with wood and paint…BUT, why do that when you can make a quilt version?! When I was designing this project in EQ7, I started with the Alphabet (Modified) blocks from the EQ7 library and simplified them
