not sure what there is to swoon over, but to each their own.....

Being an old timer, the effort to make a classic block seem 'swoony' makes me chuckle. But hey, if it keeps the hobby alive, it's all good.

Bought the pattern, bought all the fabric for it(Vintage Modern) , but I guess I should've bought some time to make it! LOL

I make this quilt, I listed it in my Etsy shop and it sold in under an hour! http://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...1&d=1395148372

I believe the Craftsy class you want is Precut Paper Piecing. The Swoon pattern is there. If I get my courage up, I hope to try it this summer. Good luck!

IT'S NOT PAPER PIECED. IT'S BY CAMILLE ROSEKELLY (SP) and it's made from pre-cuts. the title on craftsy has "pre-cuts" in it. I believe it was mentioned on pg 1. I bought the pattern on-line.

I made 2 quilts with Vintage Modern. Came out beautiful. I do think the Thimble blossoms blocks are way too large and I got tired making it. The 2nd one I used the smaller double nickel one and liked working with it much better. The yellow points (as shown on the website) do not have seams and look much better. Personally I wouldnt use the Thimble...pattern again. But I would use it for color placement. I dont care for the double nickel scrappy look.

Thanks QuiltNama. I found it in my book "1001 Patchwork Designs". It's exactly the same but uses modern fabrics. It's on my list.

This is absolutely gorgeous!

This is on my quilting list for sure...and I think I will prefer the double nickle pattern. Think I will start fabric shopping, since that is one of my favorite parts of a new project! =)
