Cloth Chess Board

I bought an large wooden chess set years ago, but never used it because the over-sized pieces were too big for any of our checker boards. What to do? Eventually I decided to make a large fabric chess-board that could fold up when not in use. (The other part of the idea was to create a cloth carrier case - with compartments for the chess pieces. But I never got started on that part of the project!)














Recently digging through all my brown and beige fabric scraps, I found this almost-completed cloth game board... and finished it!














A few days later, I noticed that the Martha Stewart website has an idea for painting a checker board on canvas. That would be fun, too! (And probably a lot less work!)
