It is a cute runner but I think you can probably make it without the pattern I am attatching pics of one I made for my son and DIL for the supperbowl last year the team names velcro onto the end zones so that each year you can make new ones for the teams that are playing and change them out. I took me awhile to figure out how I wanted to do it since I have not been quilting or sewing for very long, but no pattern was use.
