I have just started a t-shirt/memory quilt for my son. I need some suggestions for the border and for the middle sections. The quilt is based on soccer. He is 24 yrs.old.
I was thinking maybe batiks for the middle, still not sure of the border. Most of the material I have found dealing with soccer seem too childish.
Any suggestions?

aren't you using t-shirts for the blocks? I'd just use any fabric you like for the borders and sashings if the other fabrics you've found are too childish. i'm sure there a plenty of memories in those shirts.

I found a neat soccer fabric. It is hexagons. Some of them are plain black and some of them are flags of the world. I used it on a quilt I made my son's soccer coach. I will see if I can find a link for you to see.
found it!
