I did manage to complete this quilt top. I cannot tell you how excited I am to have a finish so very early in the year. It took less than two weeks to finish the whole thing. How exciting is that?!? As soon as I get the back pieced together, I’m sending it off to Christy (Army Brat Quilts on twitter and Army Brat Quilts on flickr.) to quilt on her longarm. She did a fantastic job on my first “big” quilt – it’s the top photo on her flickr page – and I’m excited to see how she ends up quilting this quilt. Did I mention I was excited? 😮 Okay, okay, here’s a not-very-good picture:

Whimsical Swoon

I thought I’d never get this block finished! My newlywed son and his wife came to visit this weekend, then I was wiped out yesterday after the kettlebells workout (Thanks a lot, Bob Harper!), and I was supposed to actually accomplish something with work today. Nonetheless, I did eventually get to swoon today. Here is block 5.

This is another mystery fabric block. Maybe I should start taking apart the fat quarters before I buy them to see if they have the good selvedge?

I’m a bit behind posting these, but here are the 3rd and 4th blocks to the Swoon-a-long.

Block 3

Block 4

I’ve got to get in there and finish trimming those hsts for Block 5 so I can move on!

Katy Jones, aka @imagingermonkey, tweeted about swooning and somehow, I found myself suckered in. Here’s her post about it: http://imagingermonkey.blogspot.com/ and here’s the flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/1904864@N22/ Come join us! You can find my blocks there as well as some others that are absolutely beautiful!
