My nephew just requested one from me. I'm not the best at applique but I'm going to give it a heck of a try.
I would love to see your quilts or even hear your ideas!
Thank goodness he doesn't want it for Christmas! :shock:
Chances are it will be a twin (he's getting a new bed soon).
Thanks everyone!

crkathleen,
I haven't made an Alabama quilt, but I'm going to as soon as Christmas is over. I bought a kit from "Varsity Quilts" at the Houston Quilt Show that has 4 embroidered blocks with Crimson Tide themes. Each block is about 13" x 13." Here is an example of an Ole Miss quilt I just made with a kit from the same company.

I have also purchased printed fabric with Alabama logos on it -- thinking about using it for a disappearing 9 patch. My nephew (who did NOT go to Alabama, just loves the school and football team) will be getting a Tide quilt from me in the near future. I bought the fabric at an on-line store, but I don't remember the name of it. You can google University of Alabama fabric to look for on-line stores that carry it. There are only a few types of fabric that are licensed, so all on-line stores carry the same fabrics.
I'd love to see your nephew's quilt when you finish it.
Roll Tide!

"Yeah, Roll Tide. A little lady at church makes these all the time, I will get a picture of one of hers and post it. I have some elephants that I could embroidery for you." Tcharlie[/quote]
Tcharlie, I'd love to see picture of the Alabama quilts made by the church lady. Can never have too many ideas for Tide quilts.

I just might take you up on that offer!
I'm about to head to Joann's. I did see something there with the Alabama football team emblem. I think it was flannel backed tablecloth, plastic. I might get a hunk of it so I have the pattern to refer to for applique.
