What this is
Piece together a quilt and leave no holes to become the button master. In Patchwork, two players compete to build the most aesthetic (and high-scoring) patchwork quilt on a personal 9x9 game board. Each player takes five buttons — the currency/points in the game — and someone is chosen as the start player.
