Ok so holy crap I finally finished the Swoon top! I am so excited!
With the borders attached (thank you Kati for help with the measurements) it comes to a whopping 93"x93"! This is the biggest quilt I've made to date!
It was a lot of hard work, but it totally has payed off. I am so in love
with this. Now comes the even harder part of finding batting and backing for
this monster.
I'm so close to knocking Swoon off my 2013 WIP list, but with the top done I'm itching to start other projects from the list. Here's a sneak peek :)
Love all the dots and gingham prints in your swoon top! Happy quilt!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. I have a stack of fabric to make my very own Swoon quilt...once I find the time :(
ReplyDeleteoh this is looking fantastic!!!
ReplyDeletei haven't seen swoon in this color combo yet. very smart! i especially like the "minnie mouse" block. =) you know, the red, black, and white w/ polka dots.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous swoon, i love the borders and may need to "borrow" that idea for mine!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love your colours choices - now my question is...how to quilt????
ReplyDeleteWow, it's huge! The black really stand out - in a good way. Are you planning on quilting this yourself? I've recently finished an 87"x87" quilt (Sunlit Treasure) but had to hand quilt the centre as it was so large.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautifully classic quilt with a contemporary twist! You and whomever you pass the quilt on to will enjoy for it for many, many years.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I have had this pattern for ages. Must use it!
ReplyDeleteI love the swoon pattern, one day I'm going to make one. BTW I love the red and black swoon... (Minnie Mouse)
ReplyDeletegorgeous quilt - love the fabrics you've used - the stars really jump out :)
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is gorgeous!! :o)
ReplyDeleteI especially like the border!
