Swoon!

 I first saw the "Swoon" pattern by Camille Roskelley last May on her blog. (Simplify)  It was love at first sight.

I bought  a" Ruby" collection fat quarter pack last October just for this project.  Yesterday I finally got started.  I set a goal to make one of these blocks each day (except Sunday) until all 9 are finished.

 This blue and gray one was my first block made yesterday.  These are a lot bigger than one would think.  They measure 24 1/2 inches right now.

Here they are together, tomorrow it is a gray and red block.  These are all made up of half square triangles and flying geese blocks and even though they take awhile I think the end result is worth it.  They are beautiful.

Quilts Galore!

I decided to do a cobblestone pattern on the charcoal and pink quilt. When Miranda picked up the fabric at JoAnn's in St. George I looked at the color and vaguely remembered having thread to match.  Not so.  When we got home the closest we could find was this "Eggplant" color from Connecting Threads.   I think it looks great but the problem was that I had just one spool.  I wound three bobbins and then threaded the quilting machine.  One bobbin didn't even get me through the first row. I had to un- thread the machine three times to wind more bobbins. I ended up using ten bobbins on this quilt because of the close pattern.

Miranda was home this week and wanted to do some quilting on the long arm also. I looked away for five minutes and before I knew it she had "chalked up" her quilt.

I really hope this washes out.

She finished quilting it without the pink lines  and it looks very cute.  Pictures will be coming soon.

She also made this quilt with Nicey Jane scraps.  I will be quilting it tomorrow.

Aren't these beautiful fat quarters.  They are from the Amy Butler "Love" collection.

We've got a lot of projects going right now.  Keep posted for final pictures.
