and it begins....


Basketball season has officially begun!
I will be all consumed by more than 6 practices and at least 5 games a week, 
sometime's on opposite sides of town!
It is true, we are a basketball family.
Even my little girl plays.  



And as much as I am dying to finish my Swoon quilt I really love cheering for my gang!
So production may be slowing down a bit for a while...
Oh, who am I kidding!
I have been working at a snail's pace for months ;-)
But, I only have 1 more block to go!
Yay!



This is a terrible picture taken with my phone.
I will say that I wish I had used more solids. 
Somehow, when you mix a solid with a barely there print (below) it looks like an entirely different block.  And I dig that! 


I really really really love this pattern!
If this is in your to do list move it up to the top!

    That photo of your boys ready for some hoops is a fun one. I remember those days. With 4 boys, all playing sports I had bleacher butt for about 18 years! Sometimes, between ice hockey, water polo, volleyball and basketball we would have 9 different games on a weekend! But, I wouldn't change a minute of it. Fun times! Love your swoon blocks.

    Love that shot of your boys! Totally intimidating! And your Swoon is looking fabulous, too. You're right, that block is very cool. Maybe that is why my favorite is the one on the far right in the same row? It is going to be a stunner when you get the time to finish it!

    Hello - weeks later and I'm finally going through all the blog links/business cards from the Sewing Summit -- welcome to my google reader! :) I just started on my swoon quilt and have two blocks done. I'm itching to go cut fabric for another block in a few minutes!! :) It was nice to meet you at the Summit!
