"Still Swooning"

     I've been doing one block a month of these "Swoon" blocks for the last 5 months and as I do them they get easier and easier and I love the next one more than the one before.

     Unless you've been living under a rock, you should recognize this block as one of Camille Roskelly's "Swoon" blocks and the fabric I'm using for mine is also her "Marmalade" line.

I've been thinking all day that I should just make up the last four this week and get it finished off so I can start something else....  

Here's a picture of all 5 of my blocks up on my design wall.....


I'm always surprised at the actual size of the block after it's all sewn together.....it's 24.5 X 24.5.  
No wonder you only need 9 for an 80 X 80 quilt!!!

This will be my 2nd full size quilt by Camille this year.  I recently did Round & Round and just got it back from my quilter on Friday so once I get the binding on it, I'll post a picture of that quilt.

I love the swoon blocks! Yours looks so pretty with the colors you have chosen. I love how big they are, too! I have that pattern on my list of things to do, too. :)
