RED ZONE quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
I do not frequently post my work - I save that for the unusual quilts I create. We have a family joke. My husband always decides who 'his team' is at the end of the game. . . especially the Superbowl. Well, I constructed a quilt to solve this problem. the pattern is Bonnie Hunter's Scrappy Bargello. There are 30 rows and 20 columns (600 pieces which each finish at 3 X 4. The materials can be obtained as 1/2 yds from Bearpawquilts.com or fabric.com (there are probably loads of other places but I know those two have all (30)teams - most of the time) . Now he has a quilt for all games.

I totally agree with PABerand! You cover all his bases for him !!

Ha Ha..... he can't complain now, can he? That is really creative and cute.

Wow that is an amazing example of your mastery of color and value. It turned out great. Not an easy bunch of fabrics to work with (team logo fabs). You did an awesome job and I bet your DH loves it.

AS the saying goes, " Never under estimate the power of a Woman," and he thought you didn't know him. I would have loved to seen the look on his face when he received it and why you added all the teams. What a beautiful gift of love.

Never underestimate the ingenuity of a mature woman with a husband. :D

Thank you all for the kind comment !! Twinkie: there is collegiate fabric -- It is also available at Bearpawquilting.com, fabric.com and you can find some local teams at Joann's, Hancock's and probably Hobby Lobby and some LQS.
