One of my goals for the New Year was to try a quilt — and all of our beds actually need them— and so when Katy said she was going to host a Swoon-A-Long, I decided now was as good a time as ever to give it a whirl. I think I’ll need as much support and pressure to finish it as I can, so I joined the flickr group, too. There are loads of pictures already popping up— and lots of people have joined in!
After two hours of pouring over my stash of fabric, this is what I’ve pulled together for the nine blocks — a pretty bunch of tiny florals and small scale prints for my little girl who won’t always be so little.
Wish me luck— I’m used to long seams and quick, one-night sews!

Great fabrics. Is this your first quilt? You will enjoy the process. There are so many quilters who give great information and help on their blogs and on the Swoon group over on Flickr. Just ask if you have a question and have fun!
Good luck, Sarah. My best friend is a quilter, but I don’t have the patience to complete one.
It will be so pretty when you do get it done with all the lovely florals you’ve picked.
