For inspiration I used this quilt and this diagram for my partial hockey rink. I decided on a partial rink as the Angel Quilt is only 15 x 15.
I dug into my scraps for the red line, blue line, face off circles and goalie net.
That makes me HAPPY! The ice is a white snowflake fabric - from the stash! I was going to make DD's coach a signature quilt but the decided against it.
The quilting was a little trickier. DD suggested that I venture into the rink after her practice and look at the ice. I suppose the patterns in the ice are the results of the drills each day. So that there is *no right or wrong* skating pattern.
I used this tutorial for the color coordinating binding.
I also added a girl hockey player for the Angel to guide and watch over.
I was #9 on the July Goal Setting Linky Party.

Nice job!
Looks great to me, but I know nothing about Hockey.
Love the angel.

I love this! Love the idea of using the ice trails as inspiration for the quilting. Nice work!
Great quilt! My DS2 also played hockey, but I never made a hockey quilt for him...
Great little memory quilt!
Very creative! And a great reward for the Coach:-) Congrats on your goal finish!
This is a sweet little quilt, and I love the hockey theme.
