What a great idea to use yo yos for the checker pieces. I have a pattern that calls for buttons like the yo yos better.

If you get the CandyLand fabric, or Monopoly, they have the board in the fabric, so you could use that to make the game

Ripped on Scotch

My mom made a game quilt. It has Checkers, some dolls to play dress up, Chutes and Ladders, hopscotch, and a couple more. There are 6 different games on it and a score board made from the chalkboard material (it's attached with velcro because it can't go in the washing machine) There is a pocket by each game board with the pieces for it. It's a christmas present so I'm assuming that we will have to play with it lots at christmas.

I made a whole bagful of "homade" game. Tic-Tac-Toe, Tripoly (Michigan rummy, hearts and poker can be played with this board-I stuffed the lines around the sections to make wells), Jinx (a board game using dice and pawns). I used bingo chips with a variety of stickers. Backgammon is another game that could be made. I found that I tried to used an already existing game and tried to mimic the same shapes or aleast have the same number of coresponding pieces. I use a pencil bag to hold all the piece and dice. I even used small party favors for Tic-Tac-Toe pieces

This is what I made my grandson years ago because we liked to play games together. Hope you can find one. it is by quiltsmart (Quiltsmart.com). It only took a couple weeks to make the whole thing and he really loved it. Dee....I took pieces from dollar store games and made a matching bag for them with his name on it.
