Go Team Granddaughters!


Created for Project Quilting 11.2 Team Colors challenge.


It's the middle of basketball season and there's nothing I would rather do for entertainment than to see my beautiful granddaughters play basketball this time of year.  And this is the weekend of the marathon basketball tournaments!  Five tournaments in 2 days! Three tournaments today! 9 total games, and we got to see at least part of 8 of them.  I was so proud of all of my girls.  Tomorrow 2 tournaments with 2 girls and we have it figured so we can see at least 4 games.What a great weekend!  All our girls (at least the ones who play basketball (The littlest one will be 2 months old real soon. Whatever she wants to do is fine with me. :) were awesome. They are learning so fast.)

Anyhow, back to Project Quilting. When I saw team colors, I knew it had to be black and orange. In Poynette, all our teams wear black and orange, and I grew up in Belmont, WI, where the colors were also black and orange. I created free form log cabin blocks in black and white using strips and strings from my stash. I added strip pieced circles from my stash in honor of the basketball players in my life.
