RBD Back-to-School Blog Tour

Throw Me A Curve Sports Throw by Deonn Stott, 60" x 60"
featuring School Colors by Riley Blake Designs:
Chevrons, Dots, Solids, Houndstooth

Can't believe it's time to get back to school already - seems like a such a short summer!  For us, since our kids are all out of high school, our participation in local school events is mainly theater productions or sporting events.

And what better way to keep up our school spirit strong than with a snuggly sports throw in school colors!

And, why not make it easy to carry?  

Perfect for a stadium seat.

Or, open it up for a pre-game picnic.  (Wasn't that sweet of the boys to hold their practice just so I could get some pictures?)

Then, when it gets a little nippy, wrap it around and enjoy the game!

I'll follow up in a few days with some instructions for turning a quilt into a pack-along!  Stay tuned, or follow along for updates.

I loved making this quick throw.  Big, easy "ten-minute" dimensional blocks, quick machine applique' of a few block letters, and...

"We've got SPIRIT, yes we do!

We've got SPIRIT, how about you?"
