Game-On! – Quilts & Fiction

Game-On

Game On brings a playful twist to the traditional square quilt! Featuring ice hockey fabrics from Benartex, this 54″ × 54″ quilt skips the expected 90-degree corners for a fun, unexpected shape. Perfect for the game room, playroom, man cave, or anywhere you want to add a little extra team spirit.

When dealing with multiple directional prints I recommend buying extra so you can fussy cut when necessary.
You may find the fabrics aren’t always straight.
