Quilting games

I wanted to make my Jake something quilty for his birthday.
But he already has numerous quilts ...

 

So I thought I'd make one with a more practical use:

 

A games board for playing chess, draughts (checkers), etc.

With a mixture of straight line and free motion quilting.

I have made some little bean bags to use as draughts pieces.

But only 6 so far, so 18 left to make!!

The backs of the pieces have pictures of a crown for when a piece is 'kinged'.

And the back of the quilt uses some pieces I had in the stash including part of a gorgeous train panel for my train loving kid!

His birthday is during our family holiday so I want to try and get all the pieces (beanbags) finished before we leave.

Better get cracking!!!
