Football quilt

Today I thought I would share with all of you an interesting quilt.  Now, I know that football season has just ended, but this quilt is for a football fan and can be enjoyed year round.  The piecing on this must have been fussy, but it is so precise.  All the lace for the football is very intricate piecing...wow!

The fabric for the sashing and borders are made with the Dallas Cowboys logo fabric, with their signature navy blue star.  The alternating background for the footballs themselves are solid navy blue for one and another navy blue with many small white stars.  Not seen here was the cute star backing.  This young man is going to be pleasantly surprised when he receives this quilt.

 
Here is a close up of the footballs and all the different fabrics.  For the quilting, we did Becker's Shooting Stars pantograph from  Urban Elementz,  It also had stars, obviously given the name of the pattern, but what was interesting is while I was quilting it, I noticed that the stars had the same echo that the Dallas Cowboys star has.  It was the perfect pattern.


Don't you think it is cute?  I do.

Take care everyone.  Keep warn and safe in this snow.
