I actually have some curling fabric but I can't recall where I got it (probably Walmart). But I could suggest that perhaps you could use the paper-pieced stone, add some appliqued brooms (the new style) and maybe incorporate the rings of the ice? Also, if you google coloring pages - sports - curling - you may get some possible applique ideas.
Since curling originated in Scotland, perhaps some tartan borders??
Here is the fabric I have:

I found this pic on line - was a sold item on ebay, stated it was a Cranston print, if that helps.
Or maybe an argyle quilt like this one with stones, brooms, etc appliqued on??

Good luck. I'd love to see what you come up with. I am Canadian and we are avid curling fans!!
