Ohhhhhhh I made a scrabble quilt for a friend but never saw that backing. 😫😫😫That is perfect?

Quilter 65 12-19-2015 10:24 AM

I love playing Scrabble and I love this quilt. Awesome.

MargeD 12-19-2015 10:53 AM

What a great quilt and I love the Scrabble backing fabric.

Clever idea, nicely done.

What a great quilt! I'll bet he's going to love it!

I cut around each letter leaving 1/4 inch of the blue as seam allowance.

What a fantastic idea. Who doesn't like Scrabble........and the backing is perfect. He will LOVE it.

I know that he is going to love it. Very clever and creative.

Wonderful quilt!! Great job!! Love the scrabble theme - unfortunately I am the only one in my family that likes Scrabble.

Merrylin 12-19-2015 05:03 PM

Very clever! I love how you personalized it.

ccthomas 12-19-2015 07:04 PM

Nice quilt.

Dee G 12-19-2015 07:16 PM

Very creative! What a perfect gift!

sewbeeit42 12-19-2015 07:32 PM

I had a friend who made a similar quilt and forgot about the letters intersecting so had more letters than were needed so he did a word search puzzle on the back of the quilt. Neat idea for scrabble lovers.

kaylfordsollimo 12-19-2015 08:13 PM

That is fantasmagorical !!!!! I'll guess that he is going to love it. This is one of those "you've gotta take a photo of his face when he opens the package" kind of gifts.

dcquilter 12-19-2015 08:13 PM

I love this! So creative and personal! Would it be all right with you if I pin it on my Pinterest board, please?

Stevensgirl 12-19-2015 08:33 PM

What a wonderfully creative idea! Your dad is going to love it!

Thanks! Now I know what to do with all the letters I have left over! Great idea!

I'll have my camera ready! I think he is going to cry!

fantastic family quilt

just_the_scraps_m'am 12-20-2015 06:16 PM

great job from a former scrabble addict!

Bonbonary 12-20-2015 06:42 PM

Great job! I wish I could find that Scrabble fabric. It would make the perfect quilt or place mats for my Scrabble friends.

maryellen2u 12-20-2015 11:35 PM

This is the best! So clever and ingenious! Congratulations grandmasieg on hitting the gift thing out of the park!

the King's kid 12-21-2015 01:41 PM

This project can be extended to other games such as "Blockus," "Wheel of Fortune," "Monopoly" and more. Thanks for the heads up. You did a swell job, one you can be proud of. Also, someone asked how you made the letters - you could also have used permanent black marker to do this. Of course it, too, would have taken much time to make but it could be done. God bless you, and may this Christmas season find Jesus in your heart!

LavenderBlue 12-21-2015 04:08 PM

Beyond wonderful!!!

Karen Mc 12-21-2015 04:57 PM
