My daughter-in-law's sister is expecting her first baby a couple of months from now, so I decided to make a quilt for them. They are having a little boy, and I was told they are going with a sports theme.
I looked through my stash and found the blue sports-themed fabric. It was left over from a soccer quilt I made several years ago (It was the backing fabric). I found the background fabric at Hobby Lobby.
I modified my Charm Square Star pattern so that the center and star points would be solid pieces instead of patchwork. I wanted the footballs, etc. to be as intact as possible.
The next step is to get the backing fabric pieced, so that I can get it into the quilting frame and get it quilted. I'm planning to quilt it in an all-over stars and loops (or meanders?) pattern.
The top measures 40-1/2 inches square.
