It seems you can't read through a quilt blog these days without running into the stunning Swoon pattern by thimble blossoms. I finally got it for Christmas and found just the right fabrics from my stash to use for this! It's a mix of fabrics I got as a gift & some I bought as a birthday gift for myself. They play so well together and I added in a blue & green solid (Konas, but not sure which colors now) to help round it out. I so wanted to use something other than white for the background, but everything else I auditioned just drowned out the other colors.
So I went with Kona Snow - it's not exactly white, right? Right. ;)

Anyways, as you can see, I have all the pieces cut out - no easy feat for all 9 blocks - but here they all are cut, labelled, bagged and ready to go to quilt retreat! Can't wait to start putting these blocks together! I've joined the Swoon Along on Flickr and there are some wonderful blocks already up - go check it out if you haven't yet!
Can't wait to see them come together at retreat.
