Default Bowling theme quilt...

Hi all,
I had been asked about a bowling theme quilt I made for a dear friend, she will be 92 in December...Back in the 60's she was quite the bowler, and had pics along with all of her patches and pins she was awarded...I asked her if I could borrow all of it for a "project"...I then brought it all home and designed this quilt as a surprise for her...I loved seeing her face when I took it over to her! I did not put any of her pins on the quilt, but I did leave plenty of space for her to pick and choose where she wanted to pin them...Also, dh cut out 2 wooden bowling pins, and we hung the quilt using those and a dowel...I need to get better pics of it all, as I took this pic with my phone, had to send it to my son and have him e-mail it to me ( I don't have a "smart" phone...lol..) Its hard to see, but I did quilt bowling pin outlines in the bowling pin fabrics... Sorry for the grain-i-ness of this pic, but here it is:
