“Most Seasons are Like a Storm at Sea, but if You’re Lucky, You Find Smooth Sailing” by Diane C

Those who know me well in real life and on Facebook know that I’m a HUGE sports fan. These days I attend way too few games in the four major sports, but I run ladies’ fantasy baseball and football leagues each year and I read the sport section of the San Francisco Chronicle from cover to cover EVERY day.

Almost 6 years ago, my first paper pieced quilt was red and gold with a San Francisco 49ers logo in the center. A couple of years ago, I made logo Christmas ornaments for each of “my” teams. I also made four table runners in the team colors. I pair those up with silk flowers and I rotate them around the house depending on the season.

And to underline it all, the four logos are prominently displayed on the back of my phone.

So, to say I was THRILLED with this week’s theme is quite an understatement. (Thanks, Trish!) I knew I had to come up with an awesome quilt. I usually illustrate the PQ weekly themes with simple, child-like appliqués (I taught kindergarten and first grade for thirty years). This week I knew I had to create a quilt that was worthy of my life as a sports fan. Here’s the result: “Most Seasons are Like a Storm at Sea, but if You’re Lucky, You Find Smooth Sailing” (28” x 28”).

I LOVE IT!
