I designed the middle part, and it says, YHS, Band and Color Guard and is all appliqued and embroidered. I still have one more line of tshirts that should be on the bottom. (I am waiting for this year's tshirt from the band teacher) I am going to try to find some more music fabric for the back, (still looking). Just wanted to show this off.

I did a music quilt a couple of years ago for my son. Also had trouble finding fabric then. Now I see it in several places. Joann's had two patterns last week. I have also seen it on the internet. google in music pattern fabric and see what shows up.

I found the backing fabric on sale at Joanns so I purchased the black and white notes. Thanks for all the compliments. Took it to quilting guild last night and they liked it too.

Wow that looks so nice!

Wonderful. Love the central motif

Oh, I wish I had known earlier, I ordered some musical notes from Joann's for $6 a yard. I am hoping that 7 yards are enought for back and binding. Should come in today.
