Yesterday Donna posted the first block in the sampler quilt she is hosting. 

Quilt-a-longs are so good for me because I am forced to make new blocks that I otherwise wouldn't try. I am a lazy quilter. I like easy. For my sampler quilt, I am going to use my precious Bonnie and Camille fabrics.

Oh, wow!! How I love how this quilt turned out!!

I found the perfect vintage sheet for the back. 

A happy feast for the eyes....

Donna @ Donna's Lavender Nest had a give away to celebrate her milestone of 300 followers on her blog last week. Much to my surprise and delight, I won!! 

She sure knows how to wrap a pretty package. Me, not so much...

Look at these lovies! They are fat quarters from Lecien's lines Floral Bouquet and Floral Collection. My photos are not doing the colors justice. Trust me! 

Thanks, Donna!! You are a peach!

I stayed up far too late getting these last four done. I am sure I am not the first one to do something like that. Sleep is over rated anyway, right? ;) 

Now to decide how I want to do the sashing. =)

If I had to pick a favorite block, the Swoon block by Camille @ Thimble Blossoms would have to be it. Now, it's not my favorite block to make. There are a lot of pieces and you really have to pay attention to how they go together, but in the end, it is all worth it. I have made two other Swoon quilts (blogged here and here). I have wanted one for me for a long, long time. I got hung up on what I wanted to use for the fabrics and if I wanted to use a white background or not. I decided to stop over thinking the whole thing, jump off of the fence, and just do it. Last week, I did just that.  

It is hard to tell with the inside shots, what I chose to use for the background fabric is pearl pink by Kona. The fabric surrounding the center star is a tone on tone white. *fingers crossed* I hope it looks okay with I get all the blocks finished. 

If you have made a Swoon quilt, I would love to see pictures of it. =) 

Have a happy day!!

I made this top last spring and finished making it into a quilt in the last few weeks. Simple patchwork using scraps of reds, pinks and whites from the leftovers from other projects over the years. 

I have had this yardage in my stash for years. It works great for the backing of this quilt. =) 

I quilted flowers in the larger squares. 

 The rest of the quilt was simply cross hatched. 

All ready to be gifted to someone. =) 

Measurements: 65" x 65"

Batting: Pellon 80/20
