Swoon
Since I finished my last two quilts which were pretty easy to put together, I wanted my next quilt to be more of a challenge and this is what I chose-Swoon. I have been watching everyone's Swoon quilts on blogs and on Pinterest and have fallen in love with it. The original pattern calls for two colors and a background for each block using fat quarters. But since, as usual, I am using scraps, I sometimes don't have enough fabric. So I am using three fabrics and the background in each block and I love how it looks. I have some really great fabrics to use up and I had so much fun pulling fabrics for this. So block one and two are done and block three is almost done. While not a hard block to make, it does take some thinking which I like so I am thoroughly enjoying making these blocks. These blocks are big too, 24 inches, so it's very satisfying to get one done. So let me know if you have made a Swoon quilt so I can check yours out.

Looking good!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! With all that work, what a reward to have 24 inch blocks when you complete one. Can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteI think the use of three fabrics plus background is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLove the three color Swoon! It's a great way to use up big pieces of scraps!
ReplyDeleteOh how I love the material and the pattern makes me swoon!!
ReplyDeleteLoving your blocks!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks!
ReplyDeleteYour Swoon blocks are really pretty and even better - using up the stash! I've made one block and as soon as I finish the pieced border of my sampler quilt, I'll be Swooning, too.
ReplyDeleteNice blocks. I will need to put this quilt on my 'to-do' list. I've never done a 24" block; the fact it would make up into a nice quilt fairly quickly is a major plus.
ReplyDeleteIs "Swoon" then name of the fabric line or the block pattern? Whichever, I think it is just great!
