I put together a Swoon top months ago but haven't gotten around to quilting it. It will be a king size for the guest bed once complete. Not sure how I plan to quilt that one but while I ponder it, I started a second, smaller Swoon quilt.
This pattern, Swoon, by Camille Roskelly is a great little quilt pattern. I enjoyed making it, I even had a brainstorm on how to simultaneously sew the HSTs for pinwheel blocks that can be used on the quilt as a border or for something else entirely. Check it out, I posted about it here Light Bulb Moment.
As for this one, I backed it with minkee.
I played with the quilting and came up with what can only be called, "Crazy Ass Weird Quilting".
However, that is okay due to it being earmarked for a family member. I was originally going to give it to a co-worker but I think the green might not suit her. Final measurement is about 54" square but I'm most proud that several corners in this quilt are as good as this one or pretty darn close.
I bound it in a strong blue and I played with some photo staging.
Cheers!

I love this! I need to check out this Swoon pattern, I've never made it. :)
I really like that pattern and you did such a good job.
Love it! I have the pattern. I wish my corners turned out even close to how nice yours are!!
great colors, and I love your little pinwheels along the side!
I like your little Swoon quilt. I need to consider something like that, seeing as I've only made one Swoon block months ago.
Looks very cuddly and warm. Love the borders you used on this quilt!
Fabulous colors and great detail! This is a winner in my book!
I have made the Swoon quilt, too, but I have to say ....I love your colors. That chartreuse (if that is what it is) is absolutely stunning!!
that green is AMAZING. I seriously love the color combo on this!
Great color combo. I love ur pinwheels made with the leftovers.
