My block, Hockey Score!, is created because of the love my son and I share for the game of hockey. From the age of 8 to 16, he played for the Jr Sharks travel hockey team. We have fond memories of the moves he made and goals he scored! Though he doesn't play much anymore, we still get together for the occasional Sharks game. In fact, we recently attended Joe Thornton's retirement ceremony, reliving fond memories of Jumbo's amazing career.

Since goal scoring is the most exciting part of the game, my Hockey Score! block does just that. Super easy applique of only five pieces! Pick your background fat quarter and use scraps for the rest. What brings this block to life though, is the quilting. Adding diagonal lines in white thread for goal netting really brings the elements of the ice, the shot puck and the net together for a goal. Here's my suggested stitching idea: 

Sorry, Hockey Score! is no longer available.  I'll keep you posted as to when it becomes available again.
