how big is the print? I would want to highlight this fabric doing something like a churn dash or even a square in a square. I know they are simple patterns, but they would highlight the shoes and let you use the red, white and blue to accent them.

This is what I did for my grandson with several sports fabrics in the corners, a basketball orange for the center and a denim blue in the side middle. Can't find the picture. I like the disappearing blocks.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]548760[/ATTACH]I used a similar fabric for my son. I went linear and mixed it up with some other colorful fabrics. Pieced the back also. The warm wishes pattern is nice but I think it can read a little young for a man. Mixing with other fabrics that aren't the same type of novelty will mature the quilt a little. Everyone leaving home for the first time wants to look mature. Good luck and congrats on your grandsons success

Look up Shadow Boxing on the internet. I enlarged the blocks on this one to make a memory quilt for a young man out of some of his fathers shirts. It turned out great and really would show off the focus fabric. It is a Craftsy pattern.

Look up Shadow Boxing on google. It is a pattern from Craftsy. I made this as a memory quilt for a young man from some of his father's shirts. I did enlarge the blocks as I was making a king size quilt, but it came out very nice.
