Preparing to attach the fabric to the foam sheet, using glue spray.

Fabric glued on to the foam sheet

For the most part we used stretch fabric since it doesn't fray easily. In this particular picture we had some other type of fabric.

Preparing to cut the patches

The original pieces were scanned and enlarged by 15% before being printed (to fit the game board we had). Here you can see the cutouts pinned to the foam sheet with the fabric.

Cutting the tiles/patches

One of the patches

All the patches laid out

This was a moment before I almost ruined all of the pieces. I figured that I would spray glue the pieces to keep them from fraying. I had made a test run and it looked good as long as I rubbed the glue into the fabric. I started spraying all of them when I realized that wouldn't manage to rub the glue into the fabric before it hardend, leaving a white coat on the patches. I managed to salvage most of the patches but had to redo some of them.

Making the price tags

The game board as well as the "box"

We had found a fabric with a rectangular pattern on it so we used that to create the player board and sew the logo on to the top. Two zippers were added to enable opening and closing the bag/player boards.

The full game

Here are all teh pieces. The bag opens up into two player boards and there is an extra board for thetime board. Small and large buttons for 1 and 5 denominations and two fancy buttons as player markers. Many of the patches were slightly to large and have been trimmed since the picture. And no this picture isn't from an actual gameplay.

Close up on the patches

Again: Many of the patches were slightly to large and have been trimmed since the picture.

Time board

The starting square is one square to big, this has been fixed since the picture.

Is this a game for grannies?

I have a friend who is very crafty and her two favourite things in the world are quilting and boardgames. Where may I buy one of these?

It's called Patchwork, but I think it's between printings right now, kinda hard to find.
