Susan's "Swoon 16" quilt!

Susan made this fun "Swoon 16" quilt, pattern by Camille Roskelley

and made with Bonnie and Camille "Daysail" fabrics.

I've quilted a few other swoon quilts similar to this, but this one is a 16" block...which is my most favorite size to quilt, so the rulers I used to quilt it are a different size.

I used a 4" circle ruler for the inner star peel design.  I used a 5" circle ruler in all the house shapes, in the block.  I used the 7" circle ruler for the design I made in the background of the four corners of each block.  Lastly, I used a -12- curve ruler from Linda at The Quilted Pineapple.

 I wish I had better light for pictures...

 Fun for me to see the design as a whole.

 The design created in the center, where all the four corners meet...is my favorite!

I love how it looks with the curved lines in the sashing.

 Close up of the block and close up of the corners!!!!  Love it!

 I can see why so many people love the "swoon" quilt, especially this size!

Here is a video of me quilting the block continuous without having to stop and start new threads.  When I do ruler work or any custom work, I like to try and figure out the easiest and fastest path to quilting a block.  This video shows how I shuffle around the rulers as I quilt, which may be too much for you, the more you do it the easier it gets.  I love the look that ruler work gives a quilt.

Kim's 'Swoon' with V&Co fabrics

- Kim's 'swoon' made with V&Co fabrics -

 

(Click on the pictures to see them closer in a slideshow.)

 

This swoon block is between the 16" swoon and the regular swoon.

The Swoon pattern is by Camille Roskelley.

The colored fabrics are by Vanessa Christensen from V&Co.

The grey background is a Moda cross weave and is available for the time being <here>.

I drew out this geometric light custom design awhile back, and my client decided on a different option.  I was excited when I saw these fabrics, and knew that this quilting design would lend itself well to the geometric designs in Vanessa's.  I love how it turned out. 

 

 For the curves I used three circles ranging from 5"-7" and a curve ruler from my wonderful friend Linda at The Quilted Pineapple.  I also used her 5" and 12" edge rulers for all the straight lines.

 I love these angled views of the quilt that show different textures created by the curves and lines.

 

 You may wonder which ruler I used where... 

 I will tell you this, because each block is a different size a curve that may work in one of these blocks isn't going to work the same in a different block.  I recommend getting a circle and curve ruler set that gives you a range of options.  I use each of Linda's curve rulers all the time.  Sometimes a -12- is great for the sashing, and other times I need the -20-.  You won't know until you have the quilt on and ready to quilt.  Circles are great for a deeper curve.  I have a set of circles ranging from 3" up to 11", which I highly recommend.  The rulers I have are designed by a company that is no longer in business.  They really only have one line that runs horizontally and vertically.  I recommend looking for a set that has more measurement lines, and possibly some other lines helpful for peel curves.

I wish I had a great set to recommend...and maybe you have a great set, if so please share...OR we can beg wonderful Linda to make us a set!!  :)

 A straight on look at the block quilted.

 

 The fun design where the block four corners meet...I always love to see how it all comes together.

Barbara's beautiful quilt

When I saw Barbara's quilt I knew I wanted to quilt

 Patricia Ritter and my Veranda pantograph, I think it compliments

 the fabrics and pattern she used.

 The quilt pattern is called Mosaic from Edyta Sitar's "Friendship Triangles" book.

You use the LBQ-0222 Triangle Papers for every pattern in her book.  

 Click on the image to make the pictures bigger.

 Barbara used a variety of traditional fabrics, and tied them together with the black fabrics.

 I love how Veranda, the pantograph, dances across the quilt, creating beautiful textures.

 Close up!

 The back!  Love the repetitive look that a pantograph gives. 

 I used a 'dyed natural' cream perma core 30 tex thread, and 8020 batting.
