At our Christmas party/meeting in Dec. we will bring back our completed squares and give them back to the person who supplied the fabric. Hidden in the bag I received, I found a yummy yard of floral fabric from the Moda "Bliss" line. I just happened to have a layer cake from the same line of fabric.

So, I decided to try my hand at making a swoon block. The first one I made only measured 16.6". I could have made 3 more, added some sashing to come up with a 40 x 40 block. But I decided to make one BIG swoon block.

Here are my 2 blocks:

For the small sized block there is a tutorial online that was previously posted. For the original authentic Swoon, got to thimbleberries.com. I made both quilts with Moda Vintage Modern. These patterns have a lot of pieces and HSTs. Beautiful blocks. Many pictures of Swoons online.
