Matching game

This fabric matching game is a great scrap buster! 

I have been sewing for my nephew since he was born (now 2 1/2) and I always save my scraps. I decided this year for Christmas to make him a matching game. I got the idea from one of my favorite blogs, The Cottage Home. Click here for her amazing tutorial.

I chose 10 different fabrics and cut 2  4.5" squares from each so that I had 20 squares (2 of each design)

I chose a simple red flannel for the backs and cut out 20 4.5" squares 

Next I cut 20 4.5" squares of batting, I used a very thin, fusible type. I ironed the batting onto the wrong side of the printed squares. Then placed the flannel and print on top of each other with right sides together. Stitch around the outside leaving a small opening to turn right side out. After all the pieces are sewn clip the corners and turn right side out. I wished I would have taken pictures of these steps, again see the other tutorial for a better description. Once all the squares are turned right side out sew along all four sides making sure to close the opening. 

I even made a little bag so he can keep them together and carry them around.
