    Default My first Swoon Block!
    Might be my last, too!! Kind of aggravating, and a bit confusing, but then again, it might just be cause I was watching the Bowl game and sewing at the same time. Oh well, I have a ton of scraps I can use, so who knows?

    Your block is very pretty. I am sure the next one will seem simpler :-)

    Doesn't look like a hard block if your mind is on the piecing, but split concentration would make it seem harder.

    I like it!

    looks good to me. Print looks sort of like footballs. Inspired by the game?

    ​It is a great block but if you don't want to do another, it will make a nice center medallion for a quilt or use it for a pillow front.

    The first block of anything is always the hardest. It will get easier! Nice job on the first one.
