Roll-Up Checkers Board — PDF Sewing Pattern
Make a quilted checkers board — draughts, if you are in the UK — that rolls up with the pieces inside and ties shut. Finished board approximately 20" × 20" (51 cm × 51 cm). A scrap-friendly project that turns a box of leftovers into a game you will actually use.
Why it looks harder than it is
It is squares. Sixty-four of them, all the same size, joined with one straight seam repeated — and because every seam is identical, you sew them one after another without stopping, in a chain, and cut them apart at the end. There are no curves, no points to match and no templates.
The game pieces are not sewn at all. They are cut from felt, which does not fray and does not need a single stitch.
What you make
The quilted board · the integrated fabric ties that roll it shut · twelve felt pieces in one shape and colour · twelve in another

Materials you will need
- Contrasting fabrics: fat quarters or scraps in two colour families — 32 squares of each

Family game nights, picnics, camping, road trips, and a handmade gift that gets used rather than displayed.
If children will play with it
The felt pieces are small. Keep them away from children under three, and check the ties are firmly stitched before the board is handled by a child.
