Making a Swoon quilt has been on my quilty bucket list for quite awhile. So when Sandra of mmm quilts asked if I would like to join her and Tish of Tish's Adventures in Wonderland in making a swoon mini. I said " yes please". We are going to keep each other on the straight and narrow and by the end of February we will all have a finished quilt. Thank goodness this month has an extra day as I might be need it.
Before doing my fabric pull I checked out this Pinterest board for some ideas. So many wonderful swoon colours!
I took a look through my FQ collection, I may have a little bit of a collection, every time I look they seem to grow. Such pretties! So many choices. I decided to pair a floral with a solid. I like my pull, although after looking at my photo I may change out my background fabric for more of a white.

Wish me luck in completing my goal.
We've got this! I love the fabrics you picked out, mixing solids with prints. I still need to do my fabric pull, sounds like a good idea for this evening. When are you officially going to start?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great ideas; I love that you have 2 friends encouraging you along the way. It will be fun to see all your finishes at the end of the month. As Tish said above, you've got this! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome goal! Making a big Swoon is on my quilting bucket list. It always helps having friends to encourage you.
ReplyDeleteA great goal Cindy and even better to be doing it in the company of friends! You fabric pull looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. This is a to make someday for me.
ReplyDeleteYay! I love what you've got, and I think you're right to change that background out. I know my stash doesn't seem to have a lot of white-based fabrics, probably with quilting since the late 90s and backgrounds were mostly ivory. Here we go! This will be FUN!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your goal. It's a great group project.
ReplyDeleteYour fabric colors are luscious to look at! I can't wait to see what the three of you do this month! And I bet the end results will make me swoon! (Perfect theme for Valentine's month.)
