Bucky Badger

Awhile ago, my friend, Linda, has asked me to make her a Badger quilt to give to her son for Christmas.  So yesterday we went fabric shopping, and today I started.  I have a pattern especially designed for sports fans and team fabrics, so I am excited to get to work!  This is the same pattern that Heidi from Pins and Pieces used to make a 56" x 56" quilt for Bo Ryan, head coach for the University of Wisconsin basketball team.

Mine will look something like this, but no pictures of Bo Ryan, of course.  I will put a scanned pic of Bucky Badger in the center instead.  Mine will also be much bigger.  I designed the parameters in Electric Quilt, and mine will be around 76 x 82.  This is a really easy pattern with big sections so it shouldn't take me too long.  The backing will be a Badger print fleece.  I used fleece for the backing of Bailey's quilt, and it's very nice to work with.

Here a good start.  (Love my "design wall, an old flannel tablecloth pinned to a big piece of cardboard?  Gotta love flannel!)
