    Wow, at least my son like just one team. It could be fun shopping for all the fabric though.

    Thanks for all the lovely offers of fabrics! Luckily I was able to purchase fat quarters from each team online, and they arrived yesterday. I laid them out and I guess they didn't look so bad together....some teams have both dark and light background fabrics, and I am trying to choose the dark background. Most of them seem to be dark.

    I'm starting to feel a little better about this project~ I can see I will find plenty of support here from my new friends :)

    It is so delightful to know that we can be of service to other quilters through this site.
    I can't praise the administrator and staff for this fine example of people working together for the better of all ... I have learned so much here! <wave>

    If you use the team logos, those pieces should be relatively large and you should be done sooner. (If you can't tell, I've had to suffer through some "have to" quilts. lol)

    Simple sashing as a border would make a real nice simple quilt. Try to have fun with it - just think of how much the recipient is going to love it.

    Don't know where you are on the East Coast, but it's chilly willy here :) Of course, she's headed to a different part of the state than I'm in so she may be better off than we are....

    OK, So I was going to attach some pictures here of the fabrics I've chosen.....

    But then I was thinking...should I post those here or in the Personal Diaries section??? I'm still learning my way around here....

    What the heck, I'll put them here and if they need to be moved I'm sure I can figure that out :)

    These are the "background" fabrics:
