My Quilts #317: Rams NFL Team Quilt 2023

-

Finished Size: 74" x 98"


I made this quilt for my daughter's January birthday.  She requested it after seeing the Raiders team quilt I made for my son-in-law Anthony.



The pattern is "1st and 10" from McCall's Quilting and is free.  It was so fast and easy to make!


The quilting design is Touchdown, an E2E design from Urban Elementz.  The footballs, helmets, and stars are perfect.


The backing is a mottled blue which nicely shows off the quilting design. And a label completes the quilt!


My daughter lives in Kentucky so I shipped the quilt via UPS.  I wish I could have delivered the quilt in person but it wasn't in the stars.

UPDATE:  I mailed the quilt in April and am happy that my daughter received it in a few days.  It is now proudly displayed on her bed.

My Quilt #221 ~ David’s Plaid Dorm Quilt 2010

I've wanted  to make a quilt for my son David for a while.  I had a collection of plaids and homespun fabric that I thought he might like, but I couldn’t decide on a pattern I thought he would like.  One day I was flipping through my old quilting magazines when I stumbled upon this plaid dorm quilt from a Fons & Porter magazine. Plaid Dorm Quilt from Fons & Porter I thought this dorm quilt would be perfect since he is now living in a dorm after recently transferring to Cal Berkeley.  I hope this quilt will bring him some warmth and comfort during the cool fall & winter seasons while he’s away from home. The quilt has 168 five-inch finished squares and has a 12 x 14 setting.  It has a soft flannel backing and measures 58” x 66”.  I used Warm & Natural batting and quilted it with a simple line design. I’m happy with how it turned out and hope David will treasure it forever! July 2010

My Quilt #224 ~ Patriotic Log Cabin Quilt Top 2010

Hallelujah! My “quilt of errors” is FINALLY finished!  Well, at least the top is finished … I am so happy to finally get it done.  I’m also happy to report that I used up all my patriotic strips/scraps on this top.  Read about my progress here . I really like the border with the delectable mountain blocks and needed to improvise because I didn’t have a pattern.  The blocks were not so easy to make and are definitely not perfect. The top is much bigger than I anticipated, finishing at 85” square.  I’m sure this will nicely cover a queen-size bed.  There are nine blocks with 16 units each, and each block measures 26-1/2 inches.  Can you believe I was originally going to make it with 12 blocks?!  Anyway, making this quilt top was definitely a learning experience.

My Quilt #42 ~ Bouillabaisse Quilt 2003

Bouillabaisse Quilt 2003 Here’s another quilt that my BQFF Brenda and I saw at the LQS.  We fell in love with the store sample and immediately signed up for the class.  This quilt was made from a kit I purchased for the class, and the pattern is Bouillabaisse by Pie In The Sky Quilts. I made the top in 2003 but didn’t finish the quilt until 2004.  I really enjoyed making this easy pattern and thought the colors of beige and black made this a masculine quilt.  So I gave it to DS#1 for Christmas 2004: I think his expression says most of it!  ( Okay, it was very early Christmas Day and he hates to take pictures.) I know he appreciated the thought and love, but I just knew he didn’t really care for the quilt.  No problem!  Just because I like the quilt doesn’t mean he has to … it just means I have to make him another one … someday. December 2004 So in August 2005, I went to Tennessee to visit my daughter and her family and took quilts for everyone.  I knew my daughter and
