Here it is the official Soccer Game Quilt--TA-DA!
Since Mark is back playing travel soccer this year I decided to do a Quilt for Jack and Emma to sit on while they "watch" the game. I used a bunch of Marks old T-shirts and some fabric from my ever growing stash and Poof: a quilt. Jack and Emma are usually quite bored at Marks soccer games so the bring lots of things to keep themselves busy. Crafts, Legos, Nintendo etc. Now they have a cushy place to do their activities. I did a little experiment on this quilt, (and why not since it is going to be contiuously tossed on the ground!) I tryed a technique called Trapunto. Trapunto is a technique where you use extra batting under a portion of the quilt to add dimension to the quilt. Here are my results.
Over all I was pleased with the result. I think I over did it on the extra batting, next time I'll use a little less.
Now we are all set for the next two weekends of Tournaments!
