We had a stormy weekend so I had plenty of time for sewing. I finished the Swoon quilt top. It measures 80" X 80". I really enjoyed making this top. The blocks come out so nicely. Once the block is cut out, it's so easy to sew together. I think the block would make a great table topper as well. I have to prepare the backing and will load it on the longarm soon. I'll quilt it the same way as the first Swoon I made. I'm looking forward to quilting it!
I made another pin cushion! This one is huge! It measures about 5.5" square. I have so many of these triangles cut from Swoon that it's so easy to make these. I might just be a little addicted to making pin cushions!
The weather is better now. It was a little over 40 so the snow melted nicely. No more snow! They did say something about a storm this weekend but I'm ignoring it for now.
Swoon is so lovely!! I really like the colorways you've chosen in this one. Neat pin cushion too stay safe there--hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julierose. I hope you're doing better.
DeleteThe new swoon quilt is gorgeous. I really like the fabrics in this one. What did you stuff the pin cushion with?
ReplyDeleteI hope the weather isn't terrible for you.
Thank you, Jeanna. I used crushed walnut shells. I bought a huge bag at PetSmart. I heard the storm may miss us! That would be great news!
DeleteGreat looking quilt top. Certainly does not look easy. Looking forward to seeing it quilted.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Karin! I can't wait to get started quilting!
