Swoon………

I have been trying to collect a mixture of pink and brown fabrics as this is the colour I wish for our new bed quilt to be..I toyed with the idea of just making random 12” blocks but then I saw the Swoon post over at Katy’s and then I saw a post at Lindi’s and I  started thinking Swoon
 TB-Swoon-PDF-300
and I thought some more and some more even and then thankyou Miss Lindi I have joined the Swoon-craze..yep I am sure it is an addiction..
P1060012
Made 1st block..hmm oh yes I’m in love
P1060011 [800x600]
Number 2 block well yep lots of cutting but after sewing with small bits of fabric I feel this is a breeze…
P1060013
Ok got carried away and had to make another..
P1060017
Decided the cut offs were growing too rapidly so started sewing them together, these will end up as a runner for the dresser and probably toppers for the bedside tables too..
P1060015
Oh and look there is my 4th block..
Precise cutting from fq’s is required for these blocks and I have scrapped 2 fq’s as they were not cut straight-so I am now measuring my fq’s before I start to cut..
The blocks appearing on the flicker group are awesome and they all look so lovely and  different ,
Cheers Vickie
Thanks for stopping by.
