I've had the Swoon pattern and these mostly-Meadowsweet fabrics for it for about six months now. The Swoon-a-Long hosted by
Katy kicked me into gear to make my version.
These are the two FQs I chose for my first block.
And here it is...and I only had to rip out 2 or 3 times. I'm on a mission to have no rip outs on my next block!
I looked at my
post about the pattern and fabrics from back in July and noticed I was planning on using Moda Bella Gray for the background. Oops, guess I forgot, because I'm using Kona snow. I really need to put notes on my patterns! Guess I'll have to use the Moda Bella Gray for something else.
If you are using FQs, you really need to be careful in your cutting as
Camille suggests in the pattern. There isn't a whole lot of room for error. Some of my green geese rectangles I had to fudge because they were a little shy of the 6.5" rectangle needed - and I thought I was very careful in my cutting! It all worked in the end though.
This Swoon-A-Long thing is on fire! Last time I looked, the Flickr group had 428 members. I'm in good company!
Next up in the quilt-a-long marathon - my first Dresden plate!
