Good job, Laura! It looks great! I like the banners you included around the rink. =)

How funny! I was just guessing at Kiprusoff...

It's done. I did the crosshatch grid like Margo suggested and put in the Canuck team names. I didn't want DD to know what I was doing so I asked my 5 yr old DGD who knew the players, positions and who the most hated goalie in the league is, yes, Calgary Flames. But she didn't want his name on the quilt, so I didn't do it. The 'slgns' around the edges have sayings like 'Rent this Space call 1800 dad. He Shoots He scores. Easily Amused, Go Nucks, Hooray for Boobies, I am Canadian, etc. You can't see it well, but I did a red flange with the black binding, and the back is a black white and red Canada hockey fabric. I'm anxious to see how she likes it, as she was the one with the idea, I just had to create it. I did buy the Canuck logo due to copyright restrictions. Here's a couple of close up pictures. You can't really see the crosshatching, it's done in the same blue that the players names is in. Thanks so much for the great ideas, I was totally lost as to how to do this. I wanted something distinctive and it worked great.

Might be late, I was thinking hockey skates and sticks with names or I have a book continuous line quilting that has a hockey player you could blow up to fit two facing each other then grid.

I'm just impressed you knew it was a hockey field Margo? I couldn't figure out WHAT it was. Good ideas, folks!

Lorchen, if you were in the visitors goal, I wouldn't have a thing to say... =) But I'd pay to see that. =)

Laura, please do let us see how things turn out!

Keith, Margo...... You'd have to put me in goal. I was quite a decent goalkeeper during my school years, and I'm not built for running a lot. :)

I'm definitely posting pics when I'm done this one. I have had it sandwiched and ready to go for ages, but couldn't figure out what to do, then did try something and ripped it all out. So tonight I have the names already to go on my Embird program, and will rebaste the quilt now that I have taken most of the pins out of it, then hopefully this weekend I will be quilting away.

Thanks, Lorchen! Just when I was thinking it was good that I wasn't a dad... But I'd like to think I would develop all kinds of honourable traits in my children - just maybe not through a rockin' hockey quilt.

You rock too - I haven't talked to you in a while; I have been reading some of your posts. The image of Ricky overcome by 'lilac madness' has kept me going for days! =) (I put the 'u' in above just for U, Lorchen.)

And I'll play on Team Margo anytime.

I would also add words representing traits that you want the baby to have like Love; truth; health; intelligence; patience, imagination etc. I have noticed that people really love to find those words
