I rarely follow patterns so it was a little tedious referring back and forth between the layout and block instructions. Under the book is the sketch of the Swoon block and the legend I wrote up so I knew how many pieces of each fabric I needed. Because I like controlled chaos.
And I changed out another two blocks because I didn't like how they looked. I'd initially made two
wishing well blocks but I stupidly made them 10" instead of 12". Sooooo stupid. This is what happens when you sew tired :/
Sooo many points.
Tada! Quilt top all done! :) Hoping to have it basted and quilted soon.
I got some fabric for the back but now I'm wondering if I ought to make a little random block for the back. Maybe I should piece the Chinese
'shuang xi' symbol that means 'double happiness'... hmmm...
I've said it before but it bears repeating -- I'm so so so happy that I did the Swoon block instead. Very, very pretty :)

I wish I knew you in real life...and that we were friends...so that you would want to make me a quilt. :-) so pretty!
VERY pretty. Too bad the wishing well blocks didn't work. That's a very cool block. Awesome choice on the swoon center - looks like it was made for that pattern!
It is so gorgeous.
This quilt is quite wonderful. I love your color choices and the pattern. Congratulations on getting the top done.
What a BEAUTY!!!
I don't want your head to get too... big but what a kickass quilt. Keep them coming!
The quilt is absolutely fabulous, and I love the swoon block in the centre.
amazing!! just simply amazing!

It's gorgeous Audrie!
Fabulous quilt Audrie and the swoon block icing on the top. I am thinking now I have to add this to my to do list...something with swoons! And all the points are amazing...such technique, very impressive!!
Normally not a fan of traditional quilts and florals, but this is exceptionally pretty!! It just works so well together, the colours and florals prints, and i think your friends are going to be chuffed to bits over it =)
Audrie, this really is gorgeous. Your friends are SO LUCKY!!
