Quiet Book Matching Game

     For this quiet book page, I wanted to do a game of some sort.  I decided on a matching game and I think it turned put really cute!  I haven't decided on what the background color will be for this page yet,  but here's what I have so far :)

     First I cut out all my pieces (my favorite part haha) and laid them out so I could see what I had and where to start.

after cutting out the pieces

When I was finished cutting everything out, I had:

2 red hearts

2 green triangles

2 orange circles

2 blue squares (small)

2 yellow stars

2 black 'x's

24 white squares (large)

     I started with pinning each of the colored shapes onto a large white square.

     Once they were all pinned to  white square, I sewed each of the shapes down.

first two done, woohoo!!

     When I was finished, half of my white squares had shapes sewn onto them and half had nothing on them.

     I took one shape/white square piece and one blank white square and set them aside until they all had a blank buddy.  Then I stacked them all with their partner shape, just because I wanted them organized somehow (and they were taking up a large portion of my table).

     Next, I sewed each of the colored shape/white squares to their blank buddy.  I did this so the shapes couldn't be seen through the back of the white squares when playing the game.  No cheating allowed!! Hehe

stacked up with their partners again :)

     Now they're all set and ready to play the game!

Happy sewing friends!
