These ladies aren't exactly Gru, but knowing they're hosting linky parties helps keep me motivated!
LOL
I had several questions about the Swoon quilt I'm working on right now. I love the Swoon blocks I see all over the internet. My obsession began in September of 2011.
Wow! It's been almost two years since I started this quilt top.
I had a hard time choosing a color scheme and once again, let scraps be my choice. Each center block is a fussy cut flower or group of flowers. I had great ambitions of making three more blocks for a larger quilt.
~Sigh~
However, I decided to take the orange and purple blocks off and use the green, yellow, pink and blue ones for a lap quilt. A WIP that will soon be finished and two blocks I can use for table quilts, wall hangings or pillows.
Here it is last week, spray basted. I'm combining machine and hand quilting on it.
Loving the look!
I have a finish for the week too.
My first "Patchwork of the Crosses" aka "Lucy Boston" EPP (English Paper Piecing) block.
Ta Da!
A soccer mom project for sure!
(Baby Swoon...lol)
Don't forget to check out what everyone else is doing this week! So much creativity, encouragement and inspiration!
I love your fabric choices it is adorable :)
ReplyDeleteLove your Swoon and the Patchwork of the Crosses EPP block is beautiful. Is there a pattern/templates availabe for it somewhere online?
ReplyDeleteLove your Swoon blocks. My best friend has that pattern and the fabric picked out for the quilt. Hope she starts soon!
