Imagine this: a few days before Christmas and someone brings you a quilt and tells you that it is a Christmas present and if possible, could you please have it done in time to give as a gift. The response: OF COURSE! There were a few quilts in line before this one but we made it happen and even turned and gave it to her within 24 hours of receiving it. Her daughter had made it as a gift for her boyfriend who plays lacrosse. For her very first quilt, she did an amazing job! It was so fun to play with.
Look at the detail on those lacrosse... tools? Sticks? Bats with nets?
The numbers of his jersey and the black border were both quilted the same with the nets and sticks being outlined to emphasize the appliques. She was so excited when she saw it the next day that it made the almost-all-nighter-just-before-Christmas worth it.
