crkathleen,
I haven't made an Alabama quilt, but I'm going to as soon as Christmas is over. I bought a kit from "Varsity Quilts" at the Houston Quilt Show that has 4 embroidered blocks with Crimson Tide themes. Each block is about 13" x 13." Here is an example of an Ole Miss quilt I just made with a kit from the same company.

I have also purchased printed fabric with Alabama logos on it -- thinking about using it for a disappearing 9 patch. My nephew (who did NOT go to Alabama, just loves the school and football team) will be getting a Tide quilt from me in the near future. I bought the fabric at an on-line store, but I don't remember the name of it. You can google University of Alabama fabric to look for on-line stores that carry it. There are only a few types of fabric that are licensed, so all on-line stores carry the same fabrics.
I'd love to see your nephew's quilt when you finish it.
Roll Tide!
