-----------------------------------------

Approximate finished measurements are:

Board - 16 1/2"h x 16 1/2"w
Each Game Piece - 1 3/4"h 1 3/4"w

-----------------------------------------

NOTE: For users with smaller hoops, this will take a lot more hoopings than for those with larger hoops:

For the 4x4 Hoop you will need to do 8 hoopings for the pieces, and 16 hoopings for the board.
For the 5x7 Hoop you will need to do 4 hoopings for the pieces and 16 hoopings for the board.
For the 6x10 Hoop you will need to do 2 hoopings for the pieces and 8 hoopings for the board.
For the 8x12 Hoop you will need to do 2 hoopings for the pieces and 4 hoopings for the board.
For the 8x14 Hoop you will need to do 1 hooping for the pieces and 4 hoopings for the board.

As you can see, the smaller hoops will need a lot hoopings. But I wanted to make the option available for people with smaller hoops to make a full size game board. And the stitch outs for each piece are very fast. My testers that did the smaller boards felt it was worth it to be able to make something so large and fun, that's why I decided to give you the option as well.
