Sports lap quilt
Back in April was my brother-in-law's birthday and I stayed focussed and managed to get this out in two weeks. I would love to go back and quilt it better, but overall it came out OK and the themed fabrics went together well, some of his favourite pastimes: soccer, golf, fishing and caravanning. The wonderful golf fabric came from my Aunt in Dunedin and the soccer fabric was a wonderful homage to his playing days. The kiwiana caravan fabric was an adorable addition for the borders and the backing.

What a great quilt showing your BIL's interests. I have some of that caravan fabric, used it for a border on a memory quilt I made when our friends husband passed away. Still have a reasonable length left, and I'm planning on making an apron to use in the caravan.
ReplyDeleteI remember that quilt, that's where I fell in love with the caravan fabric! I brought my purchase from Spotlight.
