Here is my swoon so far... don't look too closely. I haven't been checking the squares for size and some have come out wonky and corners don't meet. I still have a few sew-overs and adjustments to make. Here is what the finished quilt will look like:

My secondary color will be pink.

sewbizgirl - Love your swoon! I have been on the fence about trying it myself, but seeing yours has inspired me. I think the smaller size of squares is perfect. Off to choose colors!

Thanks... I think mine is going to come out about 50" square. That's a nice big baby blanket size, or big wall hanging. It's fun to work on, especially if you like to sew! I'm finding my accuracy improves if I measure and trim every sub-unit once I get them together.

Just checking in and want to let Barb know I received the May birthday list. I will be mailing out the candies to Jaba on Monday. Should be there in plenty of time for her birthday.

I have to stop missing the contests. I saw the last one, just didn't go back and do it. What one of those great Barb prizes she keeps teasing us with.

Me too, see some green that I sent or maybe someone else did too! Can hardly wait for my B-day...actually very nice to look forward to instead of dreading that " 70" mark. Can't believe I'm going to be 70 gees....

It's only a number, Jaba! You are as young as you think and act!

Glad you are liking how the swoon is coming along. I thought it would be fun for y'all to spy out your squares! So far I'm using all squares from the birthday swap and SheriR's latest candy swap. I'm rolling in candy! This swoon won't even make a dent!

I did a bunch of work on the swoon today. Will show pics soon. I'm loving it, tho I think I'm using too many different shades of green. We'll see....

Tomorrow I'm going to a Quilt-A-Thon work day of my local charity group. We are all cutting a stack-and-whack quilt (4 Patch Posey) and starting to put them together. I get to take my sweet little Featherweight for an outing!
