Keep you paper and pencil ready. Those ideas come when you least expect them. Good luck. Great work so far.

Yes, start with a center with the helmet or logo from a tee shirt. Can buy at Goodwill or where ever. Here is a picture of one my daughter made for her brother in law with lots of help from me. It is reversible with Notre Dame on the front.

This is the Notre Dame side

Thanks Bernadette, now you are waking up my muse. You see the logo fabric you have around the center piece, I could not get my hands on enough Giants fabric to do that so I was thinking of cutting out the name and helmet logos and putting them on separate squares and then plain red white and blue squares or 9 patch blocks using the names and helmets on the center square of the 9 patch.
What do you think????

When you make your label, you might want to mention that they were Super Bowl XLII champions. If you machine embroider you could put info on that center block under the helmet.

more facts--Feb. 3, 2008 final score Giants 17, Patriots 14
