time to swoon

I bought Camille's Swoon pattern months ago but never felt like tackling this quilt even one bit. And then, a few days ago, I suddenly knew it was time to Swoon. I found my pattern, ordered some fabric (I'm using Sketch in mist grey for the background), and last night I made my first block.


I'm in love !!!! 
I think this will be a perfect quilt for our bed, I'm even planning on hand quilting it this summer.

What fun projects are you working on?

  3. Looking great so far! I had a lot of fun making my swoon. Each block felt like a finished project in and of itself, so it's a really satisfying project!
