A one-yard piece of a darling copyrighted print that I received from my sister-in-law while she was clearing out her sewing area to move to a new house inspired this generous lap quilt. The conversation print is adorable children dressed in various NFL team shirts. (I'm not taking a close-up because of the copyright.) It had been in her stash for years, and was leftover from something she made her son who is 26 years old now!
I wanted to feature the print, so a snowball block was just the ticket. Alternate blocks are four-patches, but each one features the team colors of a different NFL team. Well, almost. There is one more block than there are teams, so my hometown Vikings got two blocks. Vikings purple for the border, and bright gold for cornerstones, binding and fleece backing finish it off.
Should be a cozy cuddle quilt to use while watching the game on Sundays. Can you find the block with your favorite team's colors?
This quilt might go down as the last finish for the year for me. From now until the New Year the schedule looks pretty packed. Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
