I'm swooning over....
the swoon pattern! I want to use it as a pattern in a block-swap group I am in. I've saved lots of pictures, etc., and thought I had saved a free pattern. Is there one available? I've just spent waaaay too much time looking for it on my computer. The only source I seem to come up with is Connecting Threads. Any other source?

is this the pattern you are talking about? if so, it is a swoon along free pattern.

here is a small version http://doublenickelquilts.blogspot.c...ilt-block.html
the original pattern can be bought at http://thimbleblossoms.bigcartel.com...42-pdf-pattern |
Search for Carpenter's Wheel quilt block. It's almost the same, and there are lots of different ways to make it.
|
It is an old quilt block called Dutch Rose.

havplenty, I like that one, but wasn't looking for a scrappy version. Thanks anyway! Pagzz, that's exactly what I was looking for! Dunster and quiltnama, I checked out the Dutch Rose and Carpenter's Wheel patterns, and they are similar and could work. Thanks everyone.

I went online to educate myself on this "new" swoon quilt movement. It's like a wave has hit. The "swoon" block goes by several names such as dutch rose, carpenter wheel to name a few and they are all constructed a little bit different but with the same resulting look.
I saw a couple of blogs where some have even figured out how to minimize the cuts on the swoon block so that there are fewer seams, less flying geese & less hst's. I guess this is how new variations of older quilt blocks are born. While I didn't find a block actually named swoon in my search other than the recently minted pattern named swoon, I am sure somewhere along the line this block name will be added to the quilt block lexicon. Glad you found what you needed. |
I just took a class at Craftsy and the Swoon pattern was one of the lessons. I just finished piecing it in bright colors. I asked my husband to help me fold it and he said it was the prettiest quilt I had ever made.

Never mind I found it, for anyone else wondering its the Pre-Cut Piecing Made Simple class with Craftsy. |
I took that Craftsy class also and although I haven't made the Swoon quilt yet I *love* the look of it!! It's on my bucket list for SURE!
