Aussie Football Quilts
 

I haven't posted much lately, been busy with life in general and quilting of course.

The AFL (Aussie Rules Football) season is about to start and I have been quilting a couple of football themed quilts. They are doona covers which I have unpicked, added wadding and then they are quilted by me on a domestic quilting machine. Binding is added to finish them off. They are a good double bed size quilt but will be used for lap quilts.

The first quilt is for a good friend who follows North Melbourne and his idol was Brent Harvey (Boomer) who retired last year. I quilted his number, date of birth, number of games, his 'nickname' and years he played onto the quilt.

The second quilt is one I am working on this weekend as a surprise birthday present for my husband on Thursday. He is away for the weekend so I need to get it quilted and the binding on by Sunday afternoon. I am making great progress, the outline quilting of the tiger is done, just need to work out what I am doing in the outer areas.

Thanks for looking

These are spectacular!!!

nicely done

These are neat!

Oh my stars!! That tiger is exquisite.. Great job...love them both!!

hose are so fantastically beautiful and perfect!

Those look to be instant hits.

These look great!

Wow! What a great idea. My grandson wanted an AFL quilt and I was trying to work out how I was going to do this. This will work for me too. You've done a fantastic job.:thumbup:

WOW!!! These are really awesome!!!

Very kool. BrendaK

Lyn, you never cease to amaze me with your talent. Thank you for being so willing to share with us. Sharon

Absolutely wonderful designs in your quilts. Sure to be goal winners!

They look great. Have never understood why AFL Clubs don't put out quilt patterns like that for each Club. I'm sure they'd be a huge hit, especially in Melbourne.

Wow wonderful quilts

Wow! Really nice and I bet your husband loves his!

Wow! They are terrific! Great Job! They wil love them. Do you have a pattern for the tiger? Would love to do one of these for my son.

Love them but what is a doona cover? Is it like a duvet? Regardless they are so striking and a great idea as a quilt for any fan.

All I can say is WOW!

They are awesome! The on themy are going to love them. You did an amazing job

Something went wrong here with my post. I'll try it again. Sorry

What I meant to say is They are going to love them. lol They did turn out so good. Did you have a pattern or is this your design?

The tiger is spectacular.

Those are STUNNING QUILTS!

they are great, really love the yellow one

Wow! Absolutely amazing quilts.

Nice quilts.

Absolutely amazing.

Wow is this your own design fantastic ?

Wowsers - they are impressive quilts!!

Absolutely wonderful quilts.

I know. I get so many people asking can I make them a quilt like these but I can only do them for family and my close friends as I can't get paid for actually making the quilt. The person I'm making it for must buy the doona cover themselves and then out of the goodness of my heart, I will quilt it. I could be doing these full-time and making a lot of money but alas.....

Yes, it is like a duvet.

Annette, I buy the doona cover, unpick the seams, add batting and a new backing if I want to, then quilt it like I would any other quilt. The pattern is already done so it is just a matter of outline quilting the design, then adding whatever I like in the outer areas.

Your work is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Great quilts and great idea!
