Will I ever be able to pretty this up??

I am working on my first sewing machine quilt and it is my first full sized quilt. Boy oh boy do these ever sew up fast compared to hand stitched quilts. I will post pictures of the blocks once I learn more about working with the layout. In the mean time I have finished my gauge swatch, voila. (See what I mean about my layout style). Any hooo, I decided to switch the background and pattern colours with each other.
We all enjoyed the Olympics with the final hockey game being watched here at home with the elder family members (real solid sports fans, especially the ladies). Wow! What a great hockey game. Both teams are amazing athletes. Well done!
