Swoon block #3


I have completed block #3 for my Swoon quilt and again loved making it. But when I got done I thought the center was boring. So I changed the center.
While I love the green Amy Butler fabric I was using in the center star, it couldn't hold it's own in the center of the block. So I pulled out some scraps and came up with this 4 patch. Much better. The other two blocks I made were fine in the center because of the particular fabrics I used, but this one needed a little nudge. It's so much fun gatherings scraps. You get to visit again with favorite fabrics.

    Oh it's still making me swoon - I just love the fabrics you are using and I love the change you made to the center of your current block. Can't wait to see more! Hugs Chris!!

I pray that risen from the dead,
In glory I will stand,
A crown perhaps upon my head,
And a needle in my hand.
