Blogger's Quilt Festival-Spring 2012

I have been thinking about which quilt to feature in Amy's Spring 2012 Blogger's Quilt Festival and I am sure this will not be the only Swoon quilt in the festival but I just had to share it again.   I love this quilt!  I joined the Swoon-Along back in January using the fabulous Swoon Pattern by Camille Roskelley.  I didn't use fat quarters though.  I used a variety  of Kaffe Fasset, Amy Butler and Martha Negley samples that were all less than fat quarter size and a bunch of stash fabrics.  Then I just played a little to make the blocks work.   I fussy cut flowers in each of the centre blocks and used coordinating florals in the Swoon corners.  Each Swoon block has four different prints and it works!   I borrowed the cornerstones from Katy at I am a Ginger Monkey. Thanks, Katy!

I just had to include this Swoon in the breeze shot!  The quilt is bound in a purple print from my stash.  I actually bought it at the thrift store to tell the truth!  And I quilted lots of straight lines on either side of the blocks in Aurilfil 50 wt in white.  Totally my "go to" thread!  I took some new pictures of my Swoon last evening because the seasons have changed since I finished it and it just seemed right.
