Thought it was a cool idea. Thought I'd share.


Great idea. The checkers could even be made of fabric---------like the ever popular you-yos.

Great idea for the checkerboard on the back of the quilts. Also like Edie's idea using the maps on the backs. Thanks for sharing.

Nice idea! It would also make a good back for a doll quilt, and if the doll isn't too picky about comfort, the "pillow" could be a little zippered bag full of checkers.

The one that I made was a different pattern - it had a hopscotch, checkerboard, tic tac toe, shoes to tie, numbers to count, a little personal book, pockets to hide things and an I spy border. Oh, I almost forgot also had a chalkboard.
