Tennis Ball Quilt

Whenever spring arrives here I begin to think of tennis season. It was such a big part of our lives when our middle son was in high school and every week we would travel to watch him play. He is a freshman in college now and we will SO miss the excitement we had each time he had a match. At the end of the season last year I made his coach this quilt.

 I had each varsity player autograph a yellow block before I pieced them.

Didn't my long arm quilter do a fantastic job? We decided to go with a tennis ball yellow for the thread so the balls would really show up.

I love the way the flame design makes it appear like wind passing by. Lord knows, the wind does blow here during tennis season! Not to mention the force of a speeding ball!

This easy snowball pattern could easily used for any sport that uses a round ball. It could even be elongated for a football. Have fun with it!
Blessings to you,
