Swoon #8

It took me awhile to get back to the Swoon blocks. I keep the latest one on the design to remind me to do it. It has been awhile since I made the last one. I think, after reading Landscape Lady’s comment from last week, I am in transition. I am trying to be in transition.

I spent last Saturday making blocks. It is kind of meditative work, but also clean up work in a way. I made some blocks for the A-B-C Challenge. I also made the Swoon block.

It is funny when I make Swoon blocks. I make one and then I want to make another, but I put it off, because there is so much cutting. Then I have to learn to make the block all over again. I made some notes when I made the last one and it was easier this time. I hope not to put it off so long until I make the next one.

Since I had cleared the design wall, I put all the blocks up and took another picture of them all.

One thing is that I think I will add sashing. Yay! I get to go through the drama of picking sashing fabric all over again. Perhaps I should take my time making more blocks? ;-)

I think the look is pretty good. I will make more and then see how I want to proceed.

  1. Oh these are adorable! I have npt seen these before,,,looks like a lot of work but worth it. How big are the finished blocks? I am in a lazy spell, and have not done your Friday prompt but want to.

    • My blocks are 16″ finished, though the original blocks by Camille Roskelley are 24′. That is too big for me, so I resized them. They have about 65 pieces in them. The original version had about 90 and I thought it would look better if some of the pieces were consolidated.

    so very cool! each one is a new work of art in itself – all are the same but different – just like people don’t you think?

    I am baffled by CPP solitaire by the way – I did a quick ace of spades (posted in flickr) and started to try a flying cards like when you win on a computer game of solitaire, but would have to take more time than I have right now – oh well, on to bigger and better things today:-)
