I’ve been making the swoon blocks a lot lately and I finished the last of them recently!
(Ever since my vacation I’ve been able to schedule posts ahead of time- which is kind of nice!)
I couldn’t help myself with this background, hope she likes it 
Here the pink/coral was sort of a directional fabric but I was able to assemble it so they all face the same way.
These 4th of July blocks were probably the most fun to make, as all the other 14 blocks had white/beige backgrounds, here she just wanted patriotic colors and it didn’t matter what color went where, can’t wait to see the rest of the blocks!
Laura has been visiting and doing the blocks too, here mine and one of hers together
I tried to make Laura’s blocks in secret, but sometimes it didn’t happen, but at least I picked out the fabrics first, or tried to, here she did pick the turquoise one.
The last block was one where the star and diamonds were MY choice, so that was kind of fun too!
Here’s all the blocks that I did.
all 16 blocks don’t even fit on the design wall!
The deadline is Sept 1st and it sounds like everyone is able to do it.
I’m glad mine are done, they were fun to make but 16 was a LOT!
I picked Christmas fabrics (one other person did too) but I don’t think I’ll make my own blocks, so I can just use the 16 blocks in a layout of 4 x 4 and maybe just add sashing and borders, we’ll see.
I came up with this layout in EQ7 it would be 82” x 82” when done with a 2” sashing and 4” border (each block is 2 x 4 in the border)
Sashing fabrics would be 1 5/8 or less
green in border would be 1yd
and red is 3/4yd
then plus binding (9 strips I think – 3/4yd)
What do you think??
comment if you are part of the swap and see your blocks – do/don’t like the blocks then I can re-make them.

I'm a follower. I just love a red/black/grey combo and this fabric looks wonderful. I think I'd start with a modern design wall hanging. Thanks so much for this giveaway!
Thanks for the chance to win! As I was scrolling through your swoon blocks I was thinking I really do need to make some-I have seen them all over the net and love them so maybe I would do just that if I won.
All your blocks look wonderful! I probably will try to do the swoon blocks, since I have never done them. I'm pretty new on this, but I love it. And the color combination is super nice too.
Great job. Love the navy-blue/turquoise! 😀 Wish I was done with mine. I am only half way through.
Following on bloglovin'. I would make a scrappy quilt.
Ok, now you've done it! I've been putting off making a Swoon quilt but after seeing all your blocks it's time to get started. Going to dig through the stash today and start cutting. I'm a follower on Bloglovin, FB and GFC.
I am part of the swoon swap, and I have 10 blocks done so far. I make scrappy quilts, so I would just add the new fabrics to my stash and let them show up in all my projects for he near future!
I think a swoon quilt would be great to make with the bundle. Thanks for the chance. I follow with GFC.
I would love to make a swoon block. It is on my list.
As much as I like the swoon block, I see this bundle more fitting for a turning twenty. Thank you for hosting – follow with GFC,
Swoon blocks look like fun and yes I would make some with this bundle of fabric. I follow on bloglovin.
Pretty fabrics! And yes I follow. I would use these for a quilt to be sure
I just love swoons, all of them! This bundle would make a quilt but if I say which pattern, it WILL change by the time I get to it. It always does :)I follow with bloglovin.
I just love this swoon block! Great to experiment with color placement.
I am a follower. The blocks are great. The fabrics you are giving away would be used by me to make an Irish chain-type quilt, perhaps a modern version.
Oh, I am making swoon blogs for the swap. I have 6 made–only 10 to go. I will persevere and make the deadline!
I love your swoon blocks! I follow you with feedly, and now with blog lovin' too.
I love the colors in the bundle! I have never made a swoon block but I love the way yours look and would love to give them a try!
I wish I had time for a swap right now:(. I loveeeeee the first and the one with the dark background. It really makes the star pop!!! I would love to make a pieced quilt. Really need some motivation right now.
I have never tried a swoon block, but these fabrics are the perfect reason to give it a try. Thanks for the chance to win!
The fabrics would make a great donation quilt for a teenager – thanks for the giveaway.
All your blocks look great! I love that pink/orange print in one of mine. 🙂 The bundle looks like a lot of fun too~ I would make myself a new wallet/handbag. Thanks for the fun!
Oops, I lost my head looking at everyone's blocks! 😉 I have 5 totally finished and 5 in pieces right now~ I'll finish in time too.
I would love to try a swoon quilt. crystalbluern at onlineok dot com
Love your blocks. I am a follower. Love the idea of using the fabrics for a swoon quilt. I bought the pattern a while ago but haven't got around to making the quilt yet.
i made a whole swoon quilt and have it on my bed
I would love to use that bundle to make a lap quilt to give as a Christmas gift. I don't know exactly what pattern — I have to spend time with the fabrics before I decide! I'll be glad to do that, should I be lucky enough to win! Thanks for the chance, I follow via GFC.
I think that bundle would make some awesome handbags! Thanks for the chance to win! I also love that patriotic swoon block. I hope we get to see her finished quilt top.
Your swoon blocks are beautiful! I would love to make a red and black purse, and this fabric would be perfect! So I'd start with that, and definitely make some quilt blocks with the leftovers. Thanks for the chance to win!
I recently made a red, black and white block strips quilt. It turned out gorgeous. I would love to make another one, it was so fun. Thanks.
They would make beautiful quilted tote bags! Thanks for the chance!
They would make an awesome swoon quilt!
Great swoon blocks. My fav is the red, white and blue one. How cute would swoon block look with RB's Mod Studio line. I'd love to give it a shot.
I love the swoons! I am definitely a follower. Drhodes9@cox.net.
I love your swoon blocks! I would make some for myself with this bundle if I won. Thank you for the giveaway.
Beautiful blocks Bea and the giveaway fabrics are neat!! I would definitely make swoon blocks with them!!
Of course I'd love to make swoon blocks..they are just gorgeous!
gfc follower: nicolesenderI'd make some swoon blocks. Thanks for the inspiration!
I do like your swoon blocks. This bundle would be the perfect colors for next year's quilt for the softball tournament raffle.
I follow by email. I think if I won I would try some swoon blocks, as I have never tried any. Good reason to try!
Lovely fabric! I would love to make a stunning lap quilt with it! awolk at rogers dot com
Maybe I will at last get on the Swoon bandwagon and make a swoon block from it!Kathy
I already swooned once! (However it is still only a flimsy) beautiful fabric!! I have so many on my must do list! Come on school!! So I have TIME to quilt again!!
I am currently saving black and red fabrics for a quilt. This would go a long way toward my stash for that quilt.
I have been making bags for a local charity fundraiser. I would use this fabric to make some more bags. I love making them and they would be for a good cause.Kathy Daviskdavis1@centurytel.net
Wow. Amazing blocks you have made. I would make a quillow with the lovely bundle. Thanks for the chance.
Wow, lovely. I would make a throw quilt.
That 4th of July block would make a Stunning quilt, even scaled down for a lap quilt. I Love it!
I have enjoyed following you for several years now. I am amazed at all you get done as a young mother. I have designed a quilt to be made in black, white and reds these fabrics would be great for it.
I follow your pillow board on pinterest. I don't know what they are really called, but I call it Gramma's overnight bag.

I follow you on bloglovin. I LOVE the swoon block, but I'm not sewing along right now, as I'm away from my sewing machine for the summer. I would probably make some things for my kitchen with this fabric; maybe an apron and matching oven mits/towels. Thanks! sarah@forrussia.org
Love these prints I think a good 3 color quilt would be great. I'm a follower on RSS feeds but we've tried to figure out if my email account shows and I think you still can't see mine so I'm at dmr1157@gmail.com
I am a new follower and so glad I found you! Love your site. :)I love the combination of black, white and red. I would prob make some pillows and a table runner.clc97423@gmail.com
I'd make a quilted table runner and placemats
I'd make a star quilt – lots and lots of stars!
I think I'd love to make Xs and Os with those fabrics. It'd be so graphic!
