Swoon quilt

I haven't been blogging very much lately, but I have been busy sewing and finishing up a few of my WIPs. Today I'm thrilled to share my finished swoon quilt.


This was a quilt I started last year during a quilt along hosted by the pattern designer, Camille. However, I struggled to keep up with and the quilt along and once it was all over my project got put on the backburner.


For my version I used prints from the Blush and Bloom collection by Iza Pearl Design for Windham Fabrics. I just love the large scale floral designs and think these big blocks show them off really well. There's also 18 prints in the collection, making it perfect for a swoon quilt.


I'm also pretty pleased with the quilting - I quilted it myself on my domestic machine. While it seemed to take forever, love the texture of the finished quilt.


I'm linking up with the 2018 finish-along and Elm Street Quilts One Monthly goal as this was on my list of proposed finishes for quarter 1 and my specific goal for March.

  4. I also started my Swoon quilt as part of a quilt along (kmmm several years ago)... it is deceptively hard to keep up with the schedules, even though it is a large block and you don't need to make a million of them. I also absolutely love the pattern, and the way it highlights those large prints! I'm sure you are stoked with how your quilt turned out - well worth the hard work!
