My daughter's teacher is an Elvis fanatic. I'd like to make her a quilt using Elvis prints. Need ideas for patterns and if anyone knows websites that sell Elvis theme fabric, that would be great. I've only seen a few. She will have the same teacher next year, so I have plenty of time to get it done.

One of the quilt shops a couple of years ago held a Elvis quilt contest... I would google Elvis+quilts+images and you will get a lot of different ideas. Walmart carries a lot of Elvis fabrics as well as various LQS and online shops.

My immediate thoughts when I read your post were:
appliqued guitars
appliqued blue suede shoes
aplliqued record album
appliqued king
aplliqued rock 'n' roll
piano border
Fabrics ideas:
Hawaiin print
black, white, gold and purple solid fabrics
By the way, I am not an Elvis fan but 2 of my Aunts are and I have made many projects for them over the years. The projects are fun to do.
