A parcel arrived today from Amazon! The first wave of several books I've ordered recently. And Yay! my 1930's Farmer's Wife book was amongst them. I'm so excited to be joining this quilt-a-long that I've already printed out the first two quilt blocks and I'm umming and ahhing over which fabrics to work with first - I don't want to work with my favourites straight away do I?!

And at last... my finished basket. My fabric Easter eggs are yet to come.
So what's all the hype about the Swoon pattern by Camille Roskelley? Wow that pattern took the quilting world up in it's storm! It's been around for a few years now but it's still got people in a frenzy. For me, it all started when I looked through my stash of fabrics. It's not huge, but there are some lovely fabrics in there. I found a Layer cake of Rouenneries by French General for Moda. This bundle is a few years old now and pretty hard to get hold of, if you're after some extra fabric pieces. So with this fabric in hand and the desire for a small project which would challenge me with new piecing skills, I roamed the internet in search of the perfect pattern to compliment these fabrics. Not an easy task, I quickly discovered.
First problem: A pattern to complement the fabric. Solution: I was totally inspired by Blue.Ridge.Girl. I decided that the Swoon was for me too. I think it's the best pattern to show off the Rouenneries fabric. Next problem: I've only got a Layer cake of fabric. Solution: The mini Swoon! I hope to be able to add to the mini Swoon pattern to make a bigger quilt, but that's going to depend on how far my Layer cake goes and if I can source any more fabric. I really want to complete a quilt without having to purchase more fabric though. That said, of course I'm going to need more fabric - how will I complete the sashing and corner posts? |
