Well not really, I still have a lot of work to do!
Let me share.
I picked up my Swoon Quilt yesterday and I am in love with this quilt all over again.
Linda has done a fantastic job on this for me.
I decided to just get the white section of this quilt machine quilted
as I didn't want to take away from the actual pattern of the swoon block.
I love the way that the blocks "pop".
If I wanted I could just leave it as it is but no, I have decided to continue with my
original plan and hand quilt the rest.
So with tonight being FNSI, you know what I will be working on :o)
Once these are all done I will have to make a decision about the binding.
Any suggestions?
How do you think the fabric that I have used for the backing would look?
Enjoy your day,
hugs, Sharon

I'm more than swooning..I'm positively head over heels!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! Love the quilting too.
And for what it's worth... I see a solid binding in one of the colours in the blocks.
Great work......!!!!!! :)
Your quilt is spectacular!! I'm such a sucker for hand quilting at the moment - can't wait to see how you finish it.
ReplyDeleteWOW WOW WOW it is simply stunning. I think a plain binding would be nice.

It is a masterpiece, I love your decisions for the quilting. I would do a solid border if you want it to standout or white to make it fade back & the blocks be the only feature. What ever you choose it will be marvellous. Tracee xx
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, this looks amazing. I agree - hand quilting will be the icing on the cake...or on the quilt in this case!!
ReplyDeleteI think your backing fabric would look great as the binding as well. I did that for one of my quilts and it worked in really well. Have fun with your hand quilting tonight.

I love it Sharon. *swoon* for sure! I think the hand quilting will give it such a great look! I like the backing fabric too.. I think it would look wonderful as binding. xo
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I absolutely love the quilting! I can't wait to see the hand quilting you add to it! Great job! :)
ReplyDeleteIts stunning! Enjoy FNSI. I've had a wonderful day working on my FNSI project and got so much done too.
ReplyDeleteIt is just beautiful Sharon. Seriously, it's one of the prettiest Swoon's I've seen. As far as the binding goes, I'm not sure... I wouldn't do anything that might distract from the beautiful blocks. Maybe I would pick a solid that's in one of the blocks?
ReplyDeleteWow.its beautiful I am so jealous .xxx
ReplyDeleteTrès joli I like
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks incredible Sharon, perfect on your bed too! The backing fabric is lovely too.
ReplyDeleteLove the Swoon blocks!
