Benartex Touchdown - Footballs Leather/Black 1/2 jarda

The black background really makes the leather-textured footballs pop, so these squares look almost too real to cut into. It’s got a nice weight for quilting, not flimsy at all, and the pattern lines up perfectly for a bold throw pillow.

The leather texture on these footballs is so convincing that it adds real depth to the quilt I'm piecing — they almost look like they're popping off the black background. The fabric is smooth to the touch and the print alignment was perfect across the half-yard cut.

The leather texture on these footballs is surprisingly realistic—you can see the pebbling and seams up close, not just flat printed shapes. I used a half yard for a quilted throw pillow and the black background makes the graphics pop without looking cheesy.
