That is perfect! I love WWF! I've been playing with a cousin who quilts & thought I'd like to do a small quilt for her. You've inspired me!

I googled Scrabble fabric, and it came up in several places. Think I got it from Fabric. com

I made a graph from the playboard so that I would have the colored squares representing Double Word, Triple Word, etc. in the correct positions. I also cut the grey squares to fill in the background. Probably could have used strips, but found it easier just working all with squares. Then I cut out letters and started putting up words on my design wall. All my squares were 2 3/4" - the size of the letters once cut out.

Delightful! I love it all - and your quilter did a marvelous job of stitching it all together.

Stitch124 04-18-2013 08:00 AM

This is SOOOOOOOOOOO cool!!!!!

corklass44 04-18-2013 08:49 AM

Wonderful concept. Wonderful quilt!

BCM 04-18-2013 11:35 AM

How creative!!! I hope you consider doing a picture tutorial of how you did it all-like you shared in a posting to Quilt-Til-U-Wilt. Bet there are many out there who would love to do one for a special someone.

Dragonfly Nana 04-18-2013 11:40 AM

What a wonderful and meaningful quilt. I am sure you son will treasure it always.

#1piecemaker 04-18-2013 11:42 AM

What a fun quilt!! I like it.

djmat 04-18-2013 11:43 AM

Orginal, colorful, special, & a keeper = wonderful quilt.

kathyd 04-18-2013 01:56 PM

So clever of you. Your son should love to display that in his "man cave" Nothing says "love" from mom like a personalized quilt!

runswithscissors 04-18-2013 02:10 PM

Oh VERY CLEVER! Well done.

Ranchwife 04-18-2013 02:17 PM

Cute! And Go Beavers! :)

MargeD 04-18-2013 02:23 PM

What a great idea and I love the quilting as well.

judi_lynne 04-18-2013 02:24 PM

I so love this quilt!

slk350 04-18-2013 02:30 PM

Great quilt. I love Scrabble also. Now I play it with my friends on FB. I might just have to borrow your idea and make a little one for my friend that I play WWF's in NY and I'm in FL. I'll have to find the fabric

Ria 04-18-2013 02:57 PM

What a great idea. I love it. Wouldn't mum n dad love a quilt with all our names on it....ummm could I fit all the grandchildren into it? I might have to consider that one. Congratulations on a great job!

Just showed the quilt to my husband & he commented on the scrabble fabric & said to google it. Then I scrollrd down & wallah, there was the answer.
Thanks

sewdamncute 04-18-2013 06:20 PM

What a great quilt!

I play Scrabble weekly with a group of ladies. One just celebrated her 80th birthday, and I would love to make her a Scrabble-themed quilt. I love what you've done with yours. Great idea!
