You may recall back at the beginning of the month
in this post
I set a goal for January,
to Finish my Swoon quilt
Well here it is
FINISHED!!!
I am SO happy with it now that it is complete!!
I quilted it on my home machine
(before I got my new one)
I just did the outline of each Flower or Star
(what ever you call them)
then added an x across the block and
stitched around each square.
It lives in our living room
and there is plenty of room for 2 to cuddle on those cold winter nights
I backed it with cozy micro fleece!!
*******************************************
A little behind the scenes here,
Normally I take my quilt outside to photograph them
but today we are experiencing a nice Saskatchewan
winter day, complete with 70 KM/Hour winds and lots of blowing snow
So I do the next best thing, go to my entryway where there is still lots of natural light
and enough room for a big quilt
This is usually my hanging crew
my hubby and my big dude
Happy Sunday
Stay warm
I am typing this from the warmth of my bed
as I seem to have come down with the flu :(

Love your Swoon! I'm going to get started on mine in February.
I love how your choices of light and dark colors bring out the positive/negative space of each square. The finish is beautiful! Nothing too fancy but still looks amazing.

It looks like a cozy warm quilt! I love the colors you chose!
It's lovely! I love brown and blue, my bedroom is in those colours. And I really must do a quilt with a fleece back, sound delightful.
And congrats on your daughter turning 18! My eldest son just had his 18th last month. I feel like *I* was that age just a short time ago...!
Awesome finish! and a big one too:) Love this pattern.
Love your Swoon! It's beautiful.

Striking blocks, and they make a very impressive quilt. I'm glad it's keeping you warm in all the cold weather you're having.
love your color choices!
Very classy! Love the use of colours...
Well done you...

Your swoon is perfect! I love the color palette and quilting. That pattern, in mini form, is on my to do list!
