    Here is a link to a quilt store that has quite a bit of sports fabric. Just type in "Arkansas" in the search. Like your idea and you may get more ideas with everyone's help. Check out my Red Sox quilts, too.

    I did some fleece panel quilts for my in-laws, backed them in flannel and quilted it out. No binding necesssary since I turned them inside out and blind stitched the opening shut before quilting. Fabric.com has a few panels of the fleece print I used for Arkansas - take a look!

    Here's photos of how my quilts turned out:




    It was a lot easier than applique. They didn't even know I'd made it by hand until they spotted the labels on the quilt backs the next day.

    Thanks to all. I am using a college theme fabric for the backing on this quilt (see above).

    I am not sure I'm good enough to do a satin stitch yet. I may try the Fray-Check.

    Thanks to all and keep those pointers coming in my direction!

    I much prefer satin stitch too for most applique projects. Have fun!
