Use a couple of T-shirts. If I see any in my travels here around Boston I will let you know.
Brush and Thimble,

Thank you so very much for your offer to help! That is just wonderful to find someone who is so quick to lend a hand. I'm in Lowell. Are you close by?

I was going to use t-shirts, but I found a company on Ebay that had a set of embroidered Bruins patches, so I got them (12 -$50) and will use those for his quilt. I have my Kona cotton fabrics in black and white already, so I just have to find the right golden yellow. I thought I would make stars with the patches in the center and alternate them with solid stars in the blocks on the quilt with sashing.

May I brag? The 10 year old is on two teams, and is the #1 Goalie in his league, the 8 year old played his first hockey game in September and scored the only points in the game, 10 Goals! and the little guy at 6, always beats his brothers when they play street hockey. So, I think my little men are going to be a hat trick of hockey stars!
