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.
