still swooning...
I finished 3 more of my Swoon blocks this week. These 3 and the 2 remaining all use directional prints, so I am making each block one at a time to make sure I get the print laid out in the correct direction. (These 3 all had the houndstooth fabric.)
My husband was gone from Sunday until Wednesday night, so I stayed up late every night working on them. I'm making this for my friends' wedding, which is August 10th, so I'm hoping to have it completed by then.
Only 2 blocks left & then I can sash them & get the quilt top done!
More about my Swoon quilt here, here, here, here, and here. Goodness I have been working on this one for what feels like a long time!

Beautiful swoon blocks. The fabric is perfect. Lucky friends!
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty blocks - it's going to be a gorgeous quilt! I start on mine in less than two weeks - woohoo!! I hope it turns out as nice as yours! Whoop whoop!
ReplyDeleteLove these blocks!! Great colors, and I saw the newest post about the striped fabric not cooperating. Too bad, so frustrating to be so excited about almost finishing and then be disappointed with the final result.
