    Default Baseball themed quilt pattern

    My soon to be 12 yr old grandson lives baseball. He has been playing since he was 3 yrs old. I want to make him a themed baseball quilt and have looked everywhere for a pattern. Does anyone know where I might find one for free or to buy. Thank you for the help.

    I am gathering fabric right now for a baseball quilt. My 7 yr old grandson and 5 yr old granddaughter play baseball, too. Not sure what pattern I will use...I guess it will depend on the fabric designs when I get them all together. I will be watching this thread to see what others suggest!

    How about using a snowball block? Perhaps you could "stitch" the white snowballs with red thread to make the baseball pattern.

    I have a great pattern. I will scan a picture tonight, and you can let me know if you like it. It is from a magazine from about 5 years ago. Stay tuned.

    I bought alot of baseball fabric FQs and half yards. Cut to 8 1/2" squares on one and 6 1/2" on the other.
    Then I went to the MLB site of the teams my grandsons root for and downloaded some player, field and logo photos which I then printed on fabric
    Alternate block was a 9-patch on one quilt and a block I devised on the other.

    I have been after my daughter, GS's Mother, to pick some pics for me. I want to make both boys a sports type quilt. Older brother just turned 15 and is on the HS team. With my son's two little ones I have a lot of baseball quilts to make. Thank you.
