July 12, 2010 – Freedom Star Block #27 – World Cup Soccer Star Block
World Cup Soccer Star Block #27 - Freedom Star Colors
Like a lot of others, I followed the FIFA World Cup Soccer Tournament from South Africa this month. I really wanted the USA to win, but it was not to be. I watched many of the matches throughout the month, culminating in yesterday’s final match between Spain and The Netherlands, and I have gained a lot of respect for those fabulous athletes. Some of the hits that they took were quite hard, and yet they continued to play. I also learned a lot about the sport of soccer, I now feel like I know more about the rules, two yellow cards and you’re out! I hope all the young kids playing soccer, will aspire to be good enough for the USA Team in the future.
I chose this block titled “World Without End” and I re-designed it as an easy paper-pieced block. It reminds me of the drawing in the opening credits for the FIFA Cup this year, I see the Soccer player going after the ball with both feet high off the ground.
