    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.

    I don't have a suggestion for what quilt to make but I do agree that you don't want to chop up this cute, fun, colorful fabric into borders and sashing. It deserves to be showcased!

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
    I think this would make a great guy quilt. Very nice.

    How about Yellow Brick Road. Easy to make, you just need 12 fat quarters. We make them all the time for a mans quilt.

    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.
