Snakes & Ladders
Now that my swap partner has received it, I can reveal my completed quilt for the doll quilt swap.
Inspired by the backgammon board in the Meet Me at Mike's book, I decided to make a Snakes and Ladders board game.
My swap partner, Rebecca, has a little boy, Jack, who is close in age to my Liam, so I thought it would be appropriate. I didn't actually know he was a fan of Snakes & Ladders, so that was a lucky bonus.
Liam, Noah and I had a test run before we popped the quilt in the mail, and we were happy with the way it worked. I hope that Rebecca and Jack have lots of fun with it because we had a hard time letting it go.
I might just have to make another one for us.

ReplyDeleteCarmel, you're so clever!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Carmel.
ReplyDeleteIt has been played, carted around, folded up, unfolded, played with again...
I even managed to win a game - the big snake is fun to go down!
Even hubby was impressed!
This is fabulous. I'm currently working on a snakes and ladders quilt but nothing as elaborate as that. What a wonderful quilt to send. Great job.
