Game Board Sewing Instructions:

Sew your rows together, top to bottom, aligning the rows.
-
Press open the seams.
-
You should now have a completed nine-patch quilt block.
-
Layer the batting, backing and machine quilt as desired.
Note: For this project, Christopher used the 1/4” presser foot as a guide when sewing together his nine-patch block. It is a great way to ensure he gets an accurate 1/4” seam allowance.
Christopher also opted out of using the walking foot. He used the regular presser foot. Because this project is small, Christopher knew the fabric would glide right through the machine.
Storage Bag Sewing Instructions:
-
Using the (2) 2 1/2” x 8” rectangles, create a pale pink bias rectangle stripe by pressing the rectangle in half. Open up the rectangle and press the left and right side toward the center press line.
-
Sew (1) pale pink bias strip rectangle to each end of the (1) 8” x 16” white rectangle, a 1/4” from the edge.
-
With the right sides together, sew the left and right side of the storage bag together.
-
Flip the storage bag inside out, pressing it flat.
Note: You could use pre-purchased bias tape to use on this project. It is a super quick and easy finish.
Use your coordinating ribbon to tie the bag together when storing the game board and pieces. -
