Need Ideas
Hi all! Hope I can get some ideas from you for my grandson's quilt that I am making for his graduation. I have material that has about 3 or 4 inch snowboarders all over it. He is an avid snowboarder, but also has a passion for antique cars. I was thinking about trying to incorporate the two together, but am inclined to use the cars (haven't purchased this material) as the backing. Anyway, what I really need is for some pattern ideas to showcase the snowboarders. Help!!

You can shadow quilt a LARGE snow boarder on it and use the rest as back ground. I use iron on backing for the design. Light weight would not feel stiff or hard. Otherwise I would just iron on about 1/2" around outer edge.

I frequently use a single fabric as a backing. As long as the binding will go with both the front and the back, you now have a reversible quilt. Everyone I give them to loves them.
