Swooning Closer

.... to a finish

Swoon-along

I had a bit of a productive day with four more blocks finished

On my first few blocks, I cut and worked on them one by one but, for these last four I cut them all out and chain pieced. For some time I felt like I was getting no where but then at the end they all came together quickly.

Now for a closer look ....


Print paired with Kona Cotton - "School Bus"



Print paired with Kona Cotton - "Dark Violet"

Print paired with Moda Bella Solids "Etchings Slate"

Now for the next bit .......



Settling on a layout


I have some quilting ideas running though my head also so hopefully more on that soon.

Happy sewing, Sharon

  9. I bought this pattern a while ago and after seeing your blocks I think I'll have to dig it out and join in the swoon-a-long.
    PS Of course you can use an image from my blog.
