Several years ago my middle son (I have three sons) gave me his sports jerseys from when he was very young and playing team sports; A football jersey, 2 basketball tees, and 2 soccer tees. He asked me to make a quilt for him. I told him there were not enough for a regular quilt and asked if he had other tees he wanted to add. He insisted those were the only ones he wanted to include so I sort of put them on the back burner thinking I would come up with something eventually.
Just recently I saw what I thought was the perfect idea and I am so pleased with the outcome.
I had found what I used for the backing at a garage sale.....someone had used the fabric for a curtain and it seemed to be perfect. Since I had backed each of the jerseys with iron-on stabilizer I opted to just sandwich the front and back with no batting...........
I have added this to my WOOFA list since it sat in my UFO pile for so many years........(I probably need a "Unstarted Object" pile too.....lol......

Oh that jersey wall hanging looks great and perfect backing fabric.
That’s looks great and I’m sure your son will love it.
Great finish. xx
Proof positive that if you wait long enough inspiration will strike! Your son is going to be very happy with this. Probably almost as happy as you are to get if off your 'to do' list!
Great finish and it looks so good - I'm sure your son will be thrilled...
