Swoon block 2



I have finished the second block for my Swoon quilt. I'm thinking how lovely these blocks would be as centrepieces of medallion quilts.....hmmmm.......another project to add to my to-do list?

1st Swoon-along block

Just finished my 1st Swoon-along block!

This has been a struggle for me...my right hand and fingers aren't really ready for all the precise cutting and piecing required.This is also the first time that I have made Flying Geese units! Talk about ambitious!
 I will need to do a little trimming and some of the points don't meet, but overall, I am happy with the outcome.
Once it is part of the quilt, I will hardly notice it...or if I do, I will remember the difficulty and how I perservered! :)
I am using FQs from moda's Blush by Basic Grey collection, along with a white background. Lots of pink, aqua, chocolate and subtle cranberry...

Swoon-along with Katy


I've just bought this pattern from The Fatquarter Shop and I am joining Katy at Imagingermonkey  in her Swoon-along. She has set up a Flickr group for us, to post pics of our blocks, and to discuss making the quilt. There are also going to be prizes!

I'm not sure what fabrics I'll use yet, but I'll have fun deciding.

Tempted to join us?



Cheers,
