Denver Broncos?...
« on: September 13, 2019, 10:07:15 PM »
Anyone here Denver Broncos fans?

My nephew is, and I'm making him a quilt for graduation, so I'll have some Denver Broncos colors left that I could make another small something out of. 
Just thought I'd put it out there, just in case someone might be interested, not sure how much fabric I'll have left, at most maybe a small throw quilt, but won't know til nephew's quilt is complete or near complete.

So far, I just have the Broncos logo fabric ordered and here, just ordered a few yards from JoAnn's since I don't want/need a bolt of it.  I have coordinating fabrics on order from my wholesaler.

Pic of the fabrics, now that my coordinates have arrived.  Not sure how or why, but the orange looks better in person than the pic.  [I won't be using much of the orange blender, as I plan to use lots of the orange Broncos fabric.]

Thank you.
Haven't come up with a pattern yet, but going to be something to show off the orange print, then the blue print will likely be the backing; but I haven't fully decided yet.

Found a free quilt design website, so put to "paper" what was in my head, now to decide which I prefer.  Not sure I have a preference yet, may need to "play" with the patterns some more.

They are all fabulous.  I kind of like the center one best.

I'm leaning right, with center close second.

Certainly the one on the right is less "busy" which may be just perfect for a nephew, and the other two are also fabulous, but I liked the darker red small squares of the middle one, rather than the orange.

They are all just right!

There is no red.  It's all orange, navy and white; which are Denver Broncos colors.

Yes, I like the "darker orange" more than the lighter orange is what I meant.  Don't know why I wrote red.  DUH!

Well, I just pulled fabrics from the free websites selection, they aren't my actual fabrics; just the right family for affect with program.  I thought I had pulled the same for both, but the program doesn't keep track of your choices, so I probably grabbed a different one between plans.

Been finished for awhile, but finally got pictures today, so I can get them in the mail.
Broncos quilts: 1 for nephew's graduation and 1 for brother in law's birthday (father and son).
And, unlike FB, I"m sure they won't see them here.

Thank you.
I didn't initially plan for two, but had enough of the fabrics, a second was possible after completing my nephew's quilt.

According to tracking, the package is supposed to arrive tomorrow, that's some of the fastest USPS service to AZ I've seen.
