I'm sorry I don't have skill in producing pictures but I'll try to explain what I did for an "all-sports" quilt for our grandson's high school graduation. I didn't use the school colors. Instead, since he was going to be enlisting in the Marines, I used a patriotic theme instead, but I used navy, wine, and beige. Did the whole quilt in rail fence. Then, for each sport I did a picture of him in that sport's uniform (track, football, baseball). These pictures were framed with a narrow border. I also made appliques of footballs, baseballs, and track shoes which I backed with a thin batting. It gave them dimension. All of these were appliqued randomly throughout the quilt top. He loved it.
