Default Quilted Sports Throws

My daughter and her boyfriend enjoy watching football and of course, cheer for different teams. She is a New Orleans Saints girl, and his a Dallas Cowboys fan so they each got their own!!!! They were my first quilts all hand stitched. Blood sweat and tears when into each one, especially the Cowboys. It was my first and I cannot tell you how many times I ripped and restarted! That is o.k., all washed out!!!! No stains to prove the struggle!!!! On the Saints throw, I still haven't binded it....I pulled a muscle in my elbow so no strength there yet (typing is a struggle, but I wanted to show everyone!). Both were very please with their throw!

I'm a HUGE football fan so I really enjoy seeing the effort quilters put into making these personalized team throws. I would be thrilled to receive either of them. You do excellent work. Merry Christmas!

These are wonderful gifts. I hope your strength returns fully to your elbow and arm; you are a beautiful quilter and I am sure there are others would love quilts like these. Great job. Thank you for sharing.

My husband and I both are also huge football fans. My husband has five favorite football teams, and we even record the scores of all 5 teams every week on our calendar. I think your throws are really neat. Thanks for showing them.

I love them! I especially like your color choices for the borders on the Saints' one.
