I have been looking at your wonderful quilting pictures on the Quilting Board for quite some time, but thought today, I would show you one of mine. This is one I made for my nephew who is mad about basketball. Hope you like it. It was fun to make.

Very nice! I hope my grandson does NOT see this or he would want one like it to add to his sports collection...and I'm tired of making sports ball quilts!!

A very nice quilt! My 5-year-old grandson loves soccer and running with his dad. He just ran his first 5K two weekends ago, and we were so proud of him as he received a trophy for being the youngest runner in the 5K. I can imagine I will need to make quilts with these themes soon!

I should have mentioned that I did the patchwork - Libby Goldsworthy did the quilting - I really am not that clever!

You did a beautiful job! I hope you share more with us.

Welcome again to the Board.....That is a great use of those fabrics. I'm sure he is very very happy with it.

Very nice!

Cinjossar 04-17-2014 07:23 AM

What a great quilt! Sometimes it is hard to make something that boys will like, but that quilt is obviously a big hit! I love all the matching pillowcases to go with it. Finishes off the whole look. Great job!

great quilt like how you put it togather very nice!!!

loisf 04-17-2014 12:32 PM

I love your quilt. It's modern and very tasteful, and yet it's perfect for a basketball-happy young man. The quilting is perfect, as are the pillowcases and throw pillow. You did a wonderful job.

I like your quilt! I need to make a quilt for my grandson and think I can adapt this to a football quilt. I have a border fabric that has football motifs (and another one that has baseball fabrics). Just noticed the basketball quilting -- perfect!! This quilt will be treasured for many years!!

nena 04-17-2014 02:59 PM

Love it . Complete set for the bed. Great job!

Tweety2911 04-17-2014 03:42 PM

You made a terrific quilt!!! Lucky nephew!

fred singer 04-17-2014 04:02 PM

fantastic quilt

Lisa Marie 04-17-2014 05:38 PM

Good job like the matching pillow cases too. He is going to love it I'm sure.

twinkie 04-18-2014 02:54 AM

I hope none of the basketball "NUTS" in my family see this one. If they do, I will be really busy. Great job.

sustraley 04-18-2014 03:23 AM

That is a very nice quilt.

joyful1 04-18-2014 03:55 AM

Very nice!

youngduncan 04-18-2014 04:03 AM

I really like your pattern and use of fabric! This would be great using any theme -- music, cars, whatever. The throw pillow and matching pillowcases really make this an expensive looking bed ensemble.

Z Any Mouse 04-18-2014 06:18 AM

That is wonderful, and I love the pillow and shams you made to go with it!

hperttula123 04-18-2014 07:41 AM

Wow...it's great. Love the basketballs in the quilting. Nice touch to it. :)

MargeD 04-18-2014 08:01 AM

That is a great quilt, I'm sure he loves it.
