Buy oddly-shaped fabric patches to fill your personal quilt board, managing buttons as currency — fill every gap for bonuses, as empty spaces cost points at the end of this two-player puzzle.

The Essentials

Tips

  • Cut all your fabric pieces with a rotary cutter, ruler, and self-healing mat rather than scissors, since precise, consistent piece sizes are what make patchwork blocks line up correctly once sewn together.
  • Press seams with an iron rather than just finger-pressing after every step, since a properly pressed seam lies flat and helps subsequent pieces line up accurately.
  • Use a consistent seam allowance, typically a quarter inch, throughout the entire project, since even small variations compound across many pieces and can throw off the whole block's final size.
  • Prewash and iron your fabric before cutting, since unwashed fabric can shrink or bleed color later, distorting a finished quilt after its first wash.

Safety Tips

  • Keep fingers well clear of the blade when using a rotary cutter, and always close the safety guard immediately after each cut, since the exposed blade is sharp enough to cause a deep cut with a single slip.
