Lets face it. I'm not great at finishing off quilts at times.
Last year I joined the Swoon a long and got all my blocks done but when it came to cutting them down, I stalled.
I didn't have a ruler that would fit these mammoth blocks to cut down so I put it aside and went onto another quilt.
So when I heard that Sarah at Fairyface Designs was thinking of starting Swoon 2013...I egged her on as it would give me the kick up the beeeehind that I needed to finish this quilt off.

Anyone else interested in joining up, you can find the Flickr group here.
These are my blocks that have been finished.
Hold on a minute...I'm missing one...
So I am up to the sashing stage and am hoping when everyone gets to this stage that we may have a few bloggers that will quilt as they go.
This is what I want to do, maybe quilt in rows as this big mama is not going to fit on my sewing table.
I'm going to have to go off and look for a tutorial on it. Any suggestions?

yay. Love a Swoon and yours is delightful! Those blocks are destined to be a quilt!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking of Swooning myself this year, I even have the fabric pulled out and ready but I've not made it any further than that! This might be the push I need to get one made :D (QAYG seems the way to go!)
ReplyDeleteThey look great Erin. I'd be interested to see what comes out of your request to quilt as you go. I don't know how I'm going quiltvthat monster on my table, let me know if you get advice. Fi

ReplyDeleteI swoon for those swoon blocks! I have the pattern, and have picked out all of the fabrics, but I have yet to actually start with it. I just love seeing what other people quilt up. I'm sure that QAYG would work, I have considered it myself as that is a big sucker for my little machine. There are tons of tutorials online so I bet you could find a good one that would do the trick.
