Puzzles and board games had a major moment in 2020, and these kinds of simple, nostalgic activities are showing no signs of slowing down. What’s more is that gaming has moved into the spotlight when it comes to decor, too.

Sure, squares are interesting and easy. So, why not? If you are considering making a quilt, any one of these would be a great way to begin. How, you ask? 1.
