Becca's Quilting Fun

Team Colors was the prompt. I've never really watched sports enough to have a team.  The first thing I thought of when I heard the prompt was the school color stuff from my college.   My school, Lake Forest College's colors are red and black.  But a lot of the shirts & school themed clothing that I liked was green & gray. I took that idea of the competing school colors and made a pattern.  I did not have much time to create this week, so I made something small. This was 10" x 9"  I create in Schaumburg

I turned to the internet to find out the calculation...
