Quilt Monopoly.
Posted on | February 14, 2025 | 9 Comments
There are so many monopoly variations that I wonder if there is one dedicated to quilting. I wouldn’t be surprised!.
A friend recently gifted me some monopoly themed fabric to make a donation quilt. The width of the pieces led me to make a Strippie quilt as per Mary’s instructions. Click on her name for the link. Mary has a great blog with a huge list of basic quilts which are perfect for donations.
Our grandson enjoyed identifying all the symbols on the fabric.
These quilts can be made larger by adding a border, but I chose to keep it this size.
I had some fabric left to use in the backing, and then added some extra strips.
It is finished with a red spotty binding.
There were even a few scrappy bits left that I turned into a cushion to match the quilt.
Just on a side note, I went to a local store to buy a cushion insert. I had picked it up and was walking out when I saw complete cushion covers and inserts for half the price of just the insert. So the insert was returned to the shelf and I bought several cushions to use instead. They work perfectly. Crazy.
I had a day making a few cards with friends.
Next up is a little floor mat for a baby, about 30 inches square. This is another donation.
In keeping with the donation theme, I have started making gift bags. At the end of the year they are filled with special gifts before being distributed. I hope to make a few of these.
I will finish off with some very good news. I mentioned my 96yo mother having a fall, breaking her hip and having surgery. Believe it or not, after four weeks in hospital and rehab, she has gone home. I find that quite remarkable. Thank you for all your kind comments about mum.
Cheers, Karen

Love the strippy monopoly quilt! What fun fabrics! And double sided!!! Pinwheels, pillow and bags are adorable, too! Is that the pattern from In Color Order?
That Monopoly fabric is so neat. The quilt and cushion are lovely. Beautiful cards…you always make such lovely ones. The gift bag is so pretty. Such good news about your dear Mum xx
I absolutely love that Monopoly fabric. Monopoly was one of our favorite games to play back in the day. You’ve really done a great job of combining them into the quilt and I love that cushion, too!
The monopoly quilt is great, made me smile:) And glad to hear that your mum is home.
Great to hear about your Mum – clearly a resilient and strong woman. That monoply fabric is fun – you made good use of it. It is crazy that a completed cushion is cheaper than inserts…
