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.

Which class did you take ? Thanks.

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!

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! =)

I got this "swoon like" free quilt pattern emailed from Fave Quilts. This pattern is so so similar to the swoon pattern.... but unlike Swoon, it's free.:thumbup:
