Applique or blocks would be fine

Wow, that's a hard one. In 30 years I've never seen fabric or a pattern related to curling or bocce ball or even shuffle board.

I wish you good luck on this unique endeavor. :-)

Here is one paper pieced block

Wow! That is an unusual theme for sure. I would look up pictures of curling on the net and print some out. Then trace them to make applique patterns. I had to look for photos of an emu and a kangaroo when I was trying to make quilting stencils for my son's boomerang quilt.

Adorable!

Really?? You need to make more use of us Aussies.
Sorry, no curling items here.I had to remember exactly what it was. :thumbup:

Hehe I thought you were talking about curling hair. LOL Shows how lame I am sometimes. LOL

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??
