My Swoon quilt is pieced together. You may need to take a moment to soak that in. I know I do. I was beginning to think it would never get finished! I added the sashing on Thursday and Friday and now its ready to be sent off to the quilter. This is something I swore...
I’m definitely having an off day. Its pretty much the opposite of my productive can’t-stop-me days from last week. Its what one of my co-workers would refer to as the doldrums but in this case it applies to the whole day. But Emilee came to my rescue and fed me food from Panera, and that...
Every once in a while, something really catches me by surprise. I don’t watch the news, and I try to avoid it for the most part. As a whole, it is depressing, and reading it does nothing positive for me. And because I have such a bleak outlook towards the news, I am seldom surprised...
Without any huge projects on my plate at the moment, I’ve had plenty of time to tackle some small projects today. I love having the freedom to be able to accomplish small things, simply for the gratification of it. First up, I finished the backing on the Patchwork Prism Sham (which I won’t show until...
Gosh, I love these. I had to have Emilee (aren’t her pictures beautiful?) take the pictures to do the blocks justice.

love it :) and yes, you are such a rebel ;)
Do you have this laying on a full size bed or queen? I am getting ready to make my mom a swoon quilt for her bed and I am just looking for a visual, although I have done all the math to make it come out the size she wants. I will be adding an extra row of swoon blocks, just as you did here. I really like the way yours turned out!
This is a queen size bed. Our bed is high up, so it may have looked better with sixteen blocks. But we just have the twelve so it will have to work! :D
