Well, I've done it. I've gone and quilted the largest playmat ever. Well, maybe not ever..... but this thing is HUGE!

Our Modern Quilt Guild was given a Kona Charm Pack in the bright color palette. We were to make a quilt using "Summer Fun" as a theme. One day in the shower it came to me that I should make my Kona quilt a hopscotch game. After all, the Twister quilt went over really well.... this would be just as fun.

We were allowed to add one solid for background and one additional print or solid. At first I chose, a green print from Tweet Tweet by Keiki for Moda. But after sewing the print into the cornerstones for ALL TEN blocks AND adding the number appliques, I decided I hated the look!!

There was a ton of green in the charm pack and the green print added sensory confusion in my opinion. I debated just to leave it and finish the darn thing. So after a little break from working on it, I decided I couldn't let it alone.

CRAZY = I took all the frames off the center squares, removed the cornerstones, replaced them with Kona Bahama Blue, cut new center squares, repieced the blocks, recut all the numbers, fused 1-10, and zigzaged all the applique.

Yes, I feel really crazy writing it too.

BUT.

Now I like it.

Here's the back (Amy Butler and Metro Rings, leftover Kona Bahama Blue)

Only problem is....AGAIN, I am giving away another game quilt. This time to friend having triplets this summer. So my four-year old is AGAIN denied (I gave away the original Twister quilt too). He's the perfect age for this. My two boys have loved playing on it all gloomy rainy spring.

I've really got to fix this for him!
