A few months ago I started my
Swoon quilt. I am using Hometown fabrics by Sweetwater and I am in love with this line! It is bright fun and cherry. I kind of put my swoon quilt to the side when I started up on fall table runners - then Christmas hit and I haven't gotten back to Swooning just yet.
In an effort to feel motivated I started following the
Swoon Quilt Along and viewing all the amazing and different swoon quilts in the
flickr group. If that doesn't motivate you to make a swoon quilt, not sure what will! What I love most about this quilt along is that it is stress free. Nothing to be done weekly - it can take you a month or a year to complete the quilt. There is just pictures and tips galore to help you through your quilting journey.
Here is a quick look at my current blocks that are done.

Block #1
Block 1 is so far my favorite color combination - yet it was my very first block so as I went on realized some tricks etc. So although it may be my favorite in color - the quality not so much. |

Playing Together
Clearly I need to break away from the red and add in another color or two.... |

They look so great! I love Hometown for Swoon, as you know. ;-) Are you using some of the blue prints as well?
Your swoon blocks are gorgeous...
I really like your blocks, great job. I like the grey and yellow too, it's become one of my favourite combos!
I love the red, it pulls everything together, you are a busy Mum with your beautiful boys and all, I'll bet quilting is a great stress buster!
