This is a lap quilt I made a couple months ago for one of my SILs. He's a huge Steelers fan. He really liked it which made me feel so good because he rarely gets excited about anything....lol. The backing is just yellow Steelers fleece. I only put some batting under the Steeler circle to keep the black background fabric from showing through.

I'm sure he loves it !!My son keeps asking me to make a New York Yankees quilt but I can't find any NYY cotton fabric, only fleece.

thanks everyone.
It was an easy quilt except for the center circle. I mean the front and back are just big hunks of fabric. He didn't want alot of different squares and things so I kept it simple.
Now my other SIL wants a Cleveland Indians one

Cool! I used the yellow/gold Steelers fleece on the back of a disappearing 9-patch for my nephew's wedding gift.

Hi, what is the steelers logo made of? Can we buy it in cotton?

No I made that myself. I cut a circle of white, made diamonds and the outer rim of the circle from the yellow, red and blue, then appiqued them on, and used a permanent marker with a wide chisel tip to print the word Steelers. (the printing took longer than anything else. I'm not artistic).
Sounds harder than it was.
It doesn't show but I did cross hatch quilting all over it, except on the circle. There I quilted different sized "#1" everywhere all over the circle and diamonds.

You are a good Mom in law! Wonderful quilt for a sports fan! :thumbup:

Way too cool.

That's great! My oldest dd especially would love your Steelers quilt, she is a big fan like the rest of our family. But she snuggles in Steelers blankets, wears sweatshirts etc when watching a Steelers game.
