I'm totally SWOONING...I got to sew this quilt for one of our local quilt stores...I did a trial block, which turned into a baby quilt and is presently at the quilter...I will post pictures when I get it back. When I was asked to sew this for the store, I was so excited I couldn't stand it!!! The blocks are a whopping 24" finished and the Ruby fabric...well a quilt made in heaven..or at least I thought I was in heaven!!
I had a blustering winter wind this morning for photos, but you get the idea...
A close up of one of the blocks...my quilter, Holly, did a superb job at quilting...I don't know if I can part with this quilt long enough for it to be at the fabric store...I have this total crush on it...By the way, there is a Swoon-a-long going on over here...
And to let the cat out of the bag for my family members who come to the annual Barrett retreat, we will be making Swoon...Above are the fabric choices for the blocks (we are doing a 30's theme for the retreat). We will sew the 9 blocks at the retreat, and a drawing will be held for the completed blocks for all those who participated in building them....Hope you are as excited as I am for this...so look forward to June!!

I LOVE Swoon! And can understand why you were so happy to make it for your LQS. Do you get to keep it once they take it down? Great idea for a family quilt get together.
I am working on the same quilt and loving it. I have a question if you could help. Some of those corners have a lot of fabric in them. Suggestions for getting the back to lay flat?
I love 30s prints.
I adore this quilt.
Oh Mary! You are most definitely Swooning! You did a wonderful job...and this is a great pattern. Love it!
I love this quilt and am excited to do it. I happen to have a plethora of 30's prints. Can I use those or do I need to use the ones on your blog?
I love this quilt! Can I pin this quilt photo to my pinterest?
