Hell, I even bought the kit from fat quarter shop, so I'll have a quilt just like 100 others out there.BijouxBabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766008929895031252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542082340697892471.post-48558307975678210112012-01-18T08:16:27.680-08:002012-01-18T08:16:27.680-08:00It's such a pretty pattern!

Some just shouldn't be resisted, though. ;) Swoon is one of them. So fun and pretty! I love your first block. Can't wait to see what other combos you come up with. And thanks for the shout out. I do love my blocks so far!<br /><br />Also, you crack me up.Jaceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751259218587190859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542082340697892471.post-83593167687061750912012-01-16T22:58:47.302-08:002012-01-16T22:58:47.302-08:00I am sooooo glad I don't quilt.

Why does everyone else, it's ugly. Then it grows on me and everyone in blogland is doing it and THEN I don't want to do it because I'll be like everyone else. And then I surrender and try to start (usually it's with a fabric line) and I try to find some and it's gone! Or exhorbitantly priced. Or some is on clearance but I have to order from 20 different shops. Anyway - you know what I'm talking about right? We're all a bunch of crazy addicts.leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508863734352087214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542082340697892471.post-55864528763360042662012-01-16T17:09:54.873-08:002012-01-16T17:09:54.873-08:00Um, yep, we can all relate!

I gave in to the Swoon pattern late last year...after thinking for so long that so many people have done them...there isn't room for me to do one more...and thankfully bit the bullet and the swoon-along came along! Your block is fantastic and I too have had conversations with my quilts...and my hubby has to occasionally remind me that the quilt can't talk back (even though they do...)...LOL!lesleyworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847354811834332440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542082340697892471.post-31214280470927890972012-01-16T13:04:22.536-08:002012-01-16T13:04:22.536-08:00love this!
