Swoon - Finally!


 I bought a Swoon pattern when it first came out and everyone was making them. I never got around to making my Swoon quilt until now! Over the years, I've collected all sorts of fat quarter sets in hope of making a Swoon quilt with them. I chose this Tilda fabric line, Lemon Tree. 


The directions are clear and easy to follow. These are all the pieces I needed for my first block. Each block measures 24.5" square. That's a lot bigger than what I'm used to! You only need 9 blocks to make a quilt. 


Other than flying geese pictured here, you only need to make half square triangles. Not hard at all! I forgot to take pictures of the half square triangles!


Once you put some pieces together, it just becomes a big old 9-patch! I'm already working on the next block. This might be a quick quilt for me!
