Solo Swooning

I needed some THERAPY sewing after

the WHIRLWIND of the last few days!

busy. busy. busy!!!

It was a GOOD busy.

 

ONE of the things I did was meet up with a blog friend!

What fun!

 

Guess what?

Mary is JUST as fun and sweet

as she is on her blog.

We could have talked a LOT longer than we did!

We're just going to have to do it AGAIN!!!

;)

 

 

 

This is a nice BIG orphan block.

You'll all recognize it as a SWOON block.

I didn't want to make any more swoons...

sooo......

I made some twosies...

and some foursies....

and began WORKING around that lovely swoon!!!

 

Not sure how many times I'll go around!!!

I sure like what I'm seeing SO FAR!

 

The quilter who gave me this orphan block

 was working with a 3 1/2" grid.

So........I'm working with 3 1/2" squares

and a colorful 3 1/2" wide border!!!

See???

I don't even have to do any MATH!!!

 

Just the right kind of quilt for me!!!

 

I'm hoping to donate this one

to a great quilt gathering going on over at

quilt swim bike.

 

It's always good to have a goal.

RIGHT???
