Playing with Jacks masculine controlled scrappy OSU
 

First of three quilts ready to gift! Yay! I am making an Ohio State lap quilt for each of our 3 adult sons...didn't want the quilt to scream OSU...this is Bonnie Hunter's free pattern, Playing with Jacks. I am trying to get more adventurous with FMQ...wanted to try curved crosshatching, but couldn't find the proper size lid to use as a template! I know there are rulers but they are pricey, and I prefer to spend my retirement sewing budget on fabric!
Colors are more accurate in the closeup pic...Will surprise my son with this tomorrow! :)

beautiful! nice choice of colors and quilting

Oh, it is so pretty...well-done!

nicely done

Lovely. Your quilting is great! Thanks for sharing.

Great pattern and colours. Your son had better love it because you did a wonderful job!

That's nice. You can make a set of curved templates for yourself with either template plastic, heavy cardstock or poster board. Make a bunch of different sizes. I save all the little templates I make for myself. They come in handy.

Beautiful quilt ~ your son will love it! Great job!

This is gorgeous! I have made some of my templates with freezer paper. Just press however many sheets together draw your template then cut it out. Freezer paper is cheap. If you don't like your template then just cut something else out of it. The rolls come in 150'x18". That can make a lot of templates. money saved!!

You selected great fabrics for a scrappy look. I am sure they will enjoy the quilts you made for them.

Beautiful, I agree excellent colour choices and great quilting. Your choice of borders is perfect.Are the next two going to be same pattern?

Good job on the quilt and the quilting. I agree, save the money for fabric!!!

It is beautiful. Great job. I can relate to the retirement sewing budget, my spouse told me in March I have already spent my sewing budget for this year.

very nice nice quilting also!!!

beautiful quilt. great quilting, love those borders.

Beautiful quilt!

Beautiful scrappy quilt. Lovely quilting also!

Beautiful!!!

That's beautiful!

Your quilt turned out beautiful. I have already started making some of my own templates to add to the others. It's fun too.:)

I love the crosshatching in the squares. Very nice job. Handsome color choice.

Beautiful. BrendaK

You did a great job on the color choices and placement of this scrappy. It will be a much loved quilt.

Oh my gosh !!! An Ohio State fan. My husband lives and breaths OSU. Of course, I help since I'm from Ohio, too. He wants a quilt for his bed, and this would just fill the bill.

Fine quilt, excellent fabric choices.

It's very well color fit for a manly quilt! Love the pattern too, nice job!

I love your quilt.

Beautiful quilt....and quilting!!!

Great scrappy...

Excellent color and a great pattern! I always find I cant make the same thing twice even if I have cut out more than I need! That's why I have boxes of leftover bloks and fabric waiting to be put together. Maybe when I get short term memory loss they will look new to me again and I will be excited about finishing some of them. Or gift them to a family who might get the quilting bug. Lol
