Football Field Quilt


 The football field quilt, baby hat and cocoon are checked off my list! I worked on this last weekend while watching the Husker game. Boy was the ending disappointing! I hope they get a win tomorrow.
 The quilt itself was easy to put together but applying the numbers took some time. I did spend a Monday night figuring out that Nebraska 'N', too. For the back, I used a red Husker fabric and as I was pressing the edges of the facing, red dye began bleeding through onto the white yard lines!! Nooo! I know I prewashed the fabric, so I was surprised that it did that. I bought some color catchers and threw them in when I washed the quilt for the first time.
 I am happy to report that they worked! 
Phew! 
No pink yard lines!

My ongoing exhibit block swap project was next on my list. I finished the rest of my blocks  the other day and dropped them off at Crafthouse this afternoon. I can't wait to see what blocks I get back in a few weeks! 


Happy weekend!

  1. Oh my gosh! That is too cute! Love the binding and how it disappears to the back.

    1. Thank you, Katie! I decided to make a facing instead of binding so that the yard lines would continue all the way to the edge and to make the quilt lie flat. I think this quilt may be used as a photo prop, so I wanted to make it as flat as possible!
