Swimming themed quilt
I want to make a quilt for a young lady whose only interest (right now) is her swim team. Any ideas for a quilt. I was hoping to just use a swimming motif fabric for backing, so far no luck finding that fabric.

I was thinking of the Monkey wrench quilt and saw this one:

I can do this one (WW). Let's hope I can find a swimming fabric on my next trip to the city. Can't risk shopping on line. We are expecting a postal strike (hopefully not). I have two baby quilts to mail. The babies will be grown if this keeps dragging out.

true4uca, I am not sure where on the Island you live and which are your local quilt shops. I am in the Cowichan Valley.
When I was in Parksville picking up the Row by Row kit, I noticed that they have lots of beach theme fabrics. I did not look too closely, but they may have something more closely related to swimming.
I will be heading up Island midweek to pick up some more row by rows, I will ask about swimming related fabrics for you.

When I think swimming, I think beach, which leads to flip flops. I know there is a pattern for flip flop blocks. But I also really like the jelly roll race with a black silhouette swimmer idea too. That could be really effective.
