This week of the solstice what is on the top of my mind…. today is a little different…
Board Games!
Sometimes the block comes about because of a memory or something I'm doing, like block 18 is 'On the Go' and I was traveling.
Block 19 'Board Games' started as I was designing another of the larger blocks. I wanted to put the stars and all of a sudden I could just 'see' a board game table in my mind.
That lead me to thinking about all the fun board games I liked to play as a kid, and one game in particular was more about the 'board' than the playing.. you can read about it in the pattern.
…….keep reading to see my finds this week…

Being a larger block, you can put just a few in repeat to grow a quilt quickly! As a scrap buster the strip sets are awesome units to use up a lot of scrap strips you have from making the other blocks. If you are not into that, substitute a stripe or a gorgeous print.. or maybe a tonal and showcase your quilting in that area. Think creatively and do what works for your fabrics.

I really took my time with this one! Scrappy but controlled. Reminded me so much of a Parcheesi board. Thanks, Pat!

that is awesome!
we were big fans of ‘Life’ in my family too!
it does!
it is helpful for this one!
You are so welcome!
Happy that we know the layout cause some of my early blocks I have to change locations to balance out my colors. I’m doing scrappy
Love the quilt and the setting of the blocks. Thanks Pat.
oh!
Hola Pat Sloan. Este bloque me encanta, es precioso. Y en un edredón con sashing todo el bloque repetido es genial. Muchas gracias. Saludos.
Sure reminds me of Parchesi the Game of India. Loved to play it with anyone willing. LOL Brings back happy memories of childhood. Thank you.
Oh yippy – it’s Wednesday and that means a Solstice block. Someone on FB was guessing it was going to be a larger block today . . . and they were correct. ~smile~ Thank you, Pat!
I love this block, I used to play the board game Life as a kid. I really have to get caught up with my blocks so I can get this one made. Thank you Pat each block is interesting and great learning experience.
Looking forward to making this block, it looks fun! It is amazing how I started with 2 fat quarter packs that I really didn’t have any plans for and wasn’t sure if I even liked them, but I liked the colors……….and now…….it has grown into a quilt that I look forward to working on each week, adding in new material as I go. Thank you Pat, for teaching us so much and involving us in your process!
LOVE 💜💚💜💚💚💚 This block, and the game. We actually have a dining room table with this game board design painted on it!!
It is now in possession of one of my son’s. Its been in the family a long time.
I absolutely love this block! I haven’t made it yet but I love it!
Ahhh hst. I am liking it….I have certainly learned to measure and I am getting better. But ironing is very key to them also
