My Robby and The Swoon
Every afternoon, me and my husband sit on our diy sofa, and watch TV Series, eating sunflower seeds (we are totally addicted to them). Robby is just in love with sunflower seeds. He gets all crazy when we sit on the sofa, because he knows that it is time for a treat.
Back to our WIP. I have been planning to make a Swoon quilt for quite some time now. Deciding on the fat quarters that I would use, was surely a challenge, but an easy one. The main goal was not using white as a background…
Materials
Using the Amy Butler “Soul Blossoms” line of fabric for the stars of the swoon, and for the background I purchased “Sketched” from Timeless Treasures.
For now I am in love with this first block…fortunately all blocks are already cut and ready to sew…so I believe this top will soon be finished.

This is a photo of this morning when I woke up. He was looking really suspicious of any movements inside. He was really hilarious…sorry for the dirty windows.

Oh my gosh, Robby is too cute! I would give him all the sunflower seeds. I also love the “Sketched” fabric in that block!

The “Sketch” line is totally perfect for a semi-solid background. I totally recommend it.

Thank you Ashley! I’ ve had this line for ages, and really did not like it in any quilt pattern…don’t know why. But in the swoon they are just glowing!
Ashley
I love your choice of fabrics – I think this might be my favorite use of Soul Blossoms!

I think your swoon block looks fab. I love the blue background.

I think the colors just sparkle. The blue really makes the fat quarter choices pop. Definitely something I would choose. And Robby is just darling!
