Ta Da! A Swoon Top!

on

I know I've been away from the blog for a little while. I don't really have an excuse for not posting other than life got in the way.

I did get some sewing done though. And some of that sewing was finishing my Swoon top! Yay!

I cannot believe I finally made a Swoon quilt top. That quilt had been on my To Do list for so long.

Now I just need to figure out how to quilt it. I want to do some free-motion designs, but it's so big. The last time I quilted something that big on my machine, I found it exhausting!

I will be linking up at these fabulous places this week: Crazy Mom Quilts, My Quilt Infatuation, and at Missy Mac Creations (hosting TGIFF this week).

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!

On and don't forget the Craftsy sale that ends this weekend! Craftsy Sale: Up to 75% Off All Courses, Fabric and Yarn!

    It is gorgeous!!! I think time spent quilting is better than time spent blogging. I think I would quilt it by check... but then I don't machine quilt really big quilts.

    I love this! It was so fun to watch it take shape and the finish is great! I like your skinny borders between each block too. Good luck with the quilting!

    Your swoon is so pretty! I know it's big, but you can do it on a regular machine. I've done one as big as 80 x 100 on mine. A slider and gloves really help. Just baste really well and just take your time to reposition the quilt often.

    I'm so glad you shared at Needle and Thread Thursday! Can't wait to see what you decide to do!
