Someone is going to have a lot of fun!

I made one with pink/blue squares for my DD when she was pregnant with first child - use pink/blue diaper pins (remember those??!) for the checkers

Cute idea. I love the border fabric. It reminds me of Paul Smith designs.

Cute idea! I just bought a book at a flea market that has a fabric hopscotch board and a teepee that I think would br great indoor toys for kids, too!

Cute!

Thank you all. The boarder is a sheet.

marymm 08-06-2011 07:13 AM

I'm sure the kids will love it. I made one for my granddaughter (and for the small table where we have breakfast.) It's pink and green and the reverse side is a tic tac toe board. We made yo's for checkers. It's even survived a blackberry syrup spill.

what a neat idea very nice job

just_the_scraps_m'am 08-06-2011 07:55 AM

great!

wyosue 08-06-2011 08:12 AM

How cute.

You said the border is a sheet? I love the way the stripes on the border go one way and the binding goes the other way.
