Hi!
Just popping in to show you what am I up to… something fun and quick for a large size quilt.
Like I told you before in the previous post, I have enough of throw quilts. Not that I am not a fan, but I feel more love and feel more satisfied with large quilt that can be put on my bed. It is a bit of a hard work, especially quilting it, but the satisfaction…aaah. I love my scrappy trip quilt just to note. That is the only one that is large enough to cover my bed. Others, like the Jack Attack quilt, or the Happy-go lucky quilt is just tad bit too small. They are a single size quilt, but I lay them on the bed anyway.
So, here goes to the first of many to come again bed quilts. Starting with SWOON.! I know most of you are familiar with this quilt by Thimbleblossoms. It’s quick and fast – each block itself measures 24″!. I am making nine blocks with a large printed border.
Putting in many of my all-time favourite fabrics in. Some Anna Maria Horner’s, Art Gallery Fabrics, and Kona White.
If you follow me on Instagram here, you get faster updates, but I still love to blog and I love reading blogs, so hopefully it won’t be too quite around here. However though, can’t deny that I love Instagram!!! It is a bit addictive. Say Hi over on my Instagram if you find me there! Here is one pic from my Instagram – the nine blocks all done!
I have finish all nine blocks and got all of them pieced together with sashing. Still need to do the border to extend the quilt size and I will most probably piece the backing too. Can’t wait to quilt this soon.

Wow!! I love your palette for these Swoons! Really fabulous so far! I know what you mean about wanting to do larger quilts. I have been deciding the same course. I’m tired of having my feet uncovered!

I love the idea of bigger quilts too… but I hate the actual quilting process of them. I guess I feel so under skilled to be working with such big pieces! Twin sizes even scare me lol, though I am a bit more at ease with them now through QAYG.

That precutting would kill me 🙂 but it seems to be fast once you past that stage. Well done!

Love your fabric choices! Can’t wait to see this one completed.

Beautiful swoon!! Love all these fabrics!
It looks like it will be beautiful. I bought the pattern, but haven’t started making my own, but seeing this makes me want to get started!
Hi Amira, I know what you mean about liking the bed quilts. There are only so many throw quilts you can use on the sofa. It is nice to see the bed made up with a beautiful handmade quilt! I looked back and really liked your triangles quilt and the wallet, Michelle
Looking beautiful, Amira! Very fun fabric choices!
