Today I finished a unique quilt.
This one is made primarily from school sports letter jackets. Nice 40th birthday gift for a guy to re-live his glory days, don’t you think?
Things I liked about this one:
I cut the ribbing off the bottoms of all the jackets and made the border/binding around the outside of the quilt with them;
I found a buffalo check in his school colors for the back
(notice the strips are on the bias for contrast with the squares);
Quilting around lettering and graphics besides the
free-motion quilting make the front AND back interesting and textural
