After making this quilt four times I think I can make it in my sleep.

I hate watching movies twice (Disney movies don’t count!)….but I actually don’t mind making the same quilt a couple of times because I can semi-not pay attention and just sew…and eat…and watch TV….while I sew. It’s perfect.

This time I used an unknown white fabric from my stash that was a tiny bit stretchy…it made sewing the “laces” a beast. Starch, gentle pressing, and an accurate seam are your best friend with those suckers.
The back is the softest cuddle fabric….and the quilt was gifted last night to a soon-to-be born Seahawks fan. :) Now I’m done with football/football quilts for a looong time.
P.S. For those that asked the brown fabric is a Kona solid in Earth…best brown ever. Pattern is Touchdown.
great collection of fabrics used on this quilt
wow I really like it :)
It's so spring and calm :)
I just finished making the larger one of these for my football playing grandson's birthday in his school colors. I hope he loves it as much as I do.
Nice quilt!
I concur – Kona Earth best brown ever!
Where did you get your backing? Is it Minky?
Thanks!
I like the colors you've used for this quilt. Very cute!!
Great quilt! I'm sure they're going to love it!!!
Love the quilt!! Just a question about the back, did you also use batting with the cuddle fabric?? Ive been wanting to try that, but been afraid it would make the quilt too thick.

What a cute quilt! Love the design and fabrics.
Gorgeous! Also where did you get that awesome quilt ladder? I am so looking for one!
I don't think you mentioned on the blog that your fabric is featured in the newest issue of "Love of Quilting!" I spotted it right away and it looks GREAT!
Anna and Crafty Gourmet….the back is minky (bought at Joanns) and yes I did put batting in this one. It is heavy…but it has such a nice weight to it! I spray basted and also pin basted it so it wasn't going anywhere….then I did a few straight stitch quilting lines across it to keep the backing in place while I quilted the rest. It wasn't too bad…just make sure you baste A LOT!!!! Thanks!!! -Al
Cute pattern. I still can't believe our SEAHAWKS won the Super Bowl! I still get chills when I think of it!
WHAT a FAB quilt for a young boy . . . footballs! I like your selection of pastel hues of greens, blues & greys to counter the bright brown with white detailed footballs. THANKS for sharing. Sarah Helene, Minneapolis
Such a fun pattern! I have a couple friends that are working on this pattern. One is making five quilts as gifts and the other is making two (Vikings and Packers versions) for a charity auction this summer.
Love that pattern, bought it! I used a Moda marbled brown I had in my stash. Awesome quilt!
It's a great quilt. You've done a beautiful job with it.
Perfect for any football fan!
Shew…your laces are perfection…because I did NOT sew with care during my retreat (used my featherweight and was distracted chatting with bffs!!) … my laces, well…a little wonky… I'm just telling myself these footballs got some use so their laces aren't fresh out of the box. ;) So impressed you finished several quilts when I'm not finished with one! :) Kudos! I need to do a little less blog reading and a little more sewing. :)
