Swooning to a Finish

Deciding on the final layout has been one of the hardest parts of  making this quilt.



Seeing the Swoon-along appear in Blogland was obviously all I needed to get this one made and off my "to-do list" for 2012. But, as can be seen here I have already added another two to that same to-do list.

I committed to make the quilt on Monday 9th after a fall out with another project.

I had fabrics picked from my stash on Thursday 12th

I mucked up one FQ when cutting and had to substitute :(

but, now I have a completed Quilt top,

with colors so far out of my comfort zone,

but I am so happy with it.

It is such a beast that I can't get my clothesline to go high enough so it doesn't drag on the ground.

and being that the colors are so far out of my comfort zone

I thought I would run with it,

so what do you think of such a bold choice of backing fabric?

Now for the quilting.

It is booked to go to the quilters

but not for the quiting job your might expect,

something a little different

........ more on that soon :o)

hugs, Sharon
