Twister Mat, Anyone?

If you look closely at the 'mat', you'll notice how sloppily I sewed on the circles. Heh, I did not even bother to iron out the circles.
I had an hour max to sew up this twister mat - time in between an appointment, and a play date.
I just wanted it done, and the kids did not care how bad of a sewing job it was!

I took an old blanket that no one liked because it was scratchy.
That blanket was cut to 40" x 60".
Using scraps, old blankies.... etc, I cut circles using a 9" diameter plate as a template.
Then I proceeded to top sew each circle onto the blanket - eyeballing to make sure the circles lined up. I sewed like a woman possessed.
Who knew I had such superhuman sewing powers? Able to sew 24 circles in 30 minutes!

The best thing about this blanket, besides an awesome Twister game (it is fun to tell mum and dad where to put their limbs), is how the blanket can be used for different games.

Indoor hopscotch, anyone?
How about a game of magical buttons?
Ooooh, maybe each circle is a special home for our furry pet toys?

Ah.... the powers of imagination.
