I finished my first Swoon block and I love it!
I've been a follower of Angela at Fussy Cut for a while now, and after seeing the progression of all her beautiful blocks I couldn't resist buying Camille Rosskelley's pattern myself. I really enjoyed making this block because I knew it would turn out pretty, and the directions were easy to follow. It was fun to put a big puzzle together.
The yellow and pink fabric is from Joanne's and Hancock, and the background fabric is Kona Ivory. I had never made flying geese before and I had some issues when I tried to take a shortcut but everything still turned out nicely. I purchased the entire amount of the background fabric at once because I didn't want to get mismatched colors from different bolts, but the fat quarters I am going to buy 2 at a time
A. because I can't afford to buy 18 FQ's at once and
B. It will give me plenty of reasons to visit the fabric store. :^)
I already have some olive and turquoise fabric cut up ready to go for my next block, which I am about to go get started on.
Here is a shot of my son on the rainbow zigzag quilt I made him. I love the black & white stripe binding, it really makes the quilt. And of course the lil nugget sitting on top makes it all come together pretty sweetly!
Thanks for reading,
Melissa
