Make a fun fabric checkerboard and tic-tac-toe boards with Quiltsmart’s printed interfacing pattern. The printed lines make it easy to create perfectly matched seams and finished game boards without the fuss of traditional piecing.

  • Printed lines guide your piecing so you don't have to mark every piece yourself.
  • Perfectly matched seams make the checkerboard easier to assemble.
  • Less measuring and cutting means you can spend more time choosing fun fabrics and sewing.
  • The interfacing stabilizes your fabric while you sew, helping keep everything aligned.
  • Easy enough for beginners and useful for experienced quilters who want a faster method.
  • Make multiple game boards from one pack, making this a great project for gifts, family game nights, classes, and group sewing.

If you’ve made our popular Mondo Bag, this is made with the same technique for perfectly-matched seams! So EASY!

Checkerboard measures 14" x 14" without borders. With a border, it measures 28" x 28". The 14" square makes a cute pillow, too! Tic-tac-toe measures 6" finished without borders and 17" x 17" with a border.

FIRST TIME USERS - Purchase the PACK which includes instructions and interfacing to make 2 checkerboards and 4 tic-tac-toe boards.
