These sports-themed minky plush fabrics work great as a minky plush throw blanket to take to outdoor sporting events, or used as a bedspread or pillowcase for the little (or not-so-little) sports fanatic in your life.
These projects were created with a wide variety of Shannon Fabrics Cuddle® Solids and Prints and Luxe Cuddle®.
We now have patterns to create these sports balls! Choose from: Slam Dunk Basketball Pillow, Soccer Ball Pillow and Touchdown Football Pillow! Download them here.
Most of the pillows were stuffed with our favorite polyester stuffing from Fairfield World and created using Metrosene polyester thread from Mettler. For the strip quilt, we used batting from Quilters Dream Batting, 505 temporary adhesive basting spray from ODIF and many of our other favorite sewing notions and tools.
We hope you find some inspiration below to create your own sports-themed projects, and may the best team win!
