Play with Me QAL: Backgammon


Woohoo. I love that I am starting to make progress again. This is the March Block for the Play with Me QAL. This fun Quilt Along gives us a game board each month (if we finished the block the month before, otherwise, you can purchase each board as well). This is the one board that sealed the deal on me joining this quilt along. This is Backgammon. I love Backgammon. It is one of my favorite board games. I had chosen a darker fabric for the main part of the board, but accidentally cut it too small.

This month's technique was to do Raw Edge Reverse Applique. While it was fun to get to try out this technique, I don't foresee myself choosing to use it again. It is a little stress inducing to cut 1 fabric so close to another fabric. I was worried the whole time that I was going to cut the underfabric....particularly on the last spike or 2. Luckily I did not have that problem, and I can happily say my block is done.

Check out the linky to see the other fun blocks and color combinations that others have made. I'm around number 135.

Great block, good job! I understand the stress of cutting into your wonderful fabric... but the stress pays off when you see the pattern emerging from below :) Thanks for linking up on the blog!!
