Just checking in here. It 's so nice to read all the nice things you write! Ladies, I wish I could help you with where to find the pattern. I look at blocks, draw them on graph paper and figure cutting size from there. It is rare indeed when I use a pattern that I didn't draw myself. Now - don't be afraid - just do it!

Never heard of them but yours is beautiful. The colors are so striking and the pattern wonderful. You do beautiful work. Yes, it would make a lovely centerpiece or wallhanging or gift to me!

What is a swoon quilt?

The hand quilting took a little more time. 24" square. I think it will make a great table center.

I started to collect the Swoon blocks when they first came up, but somehow I lost my connection to them and haven't seen any more than the first two that I got. If I find any more, I will let you all know.
