Here is s close up of block #4. These prints are so busy you can't see any of the quilting design.
The fabrics in the corner were fussy cut (as you might have guessed) and I like the interest it gives this block. A fat quarter was not enough fabric to cut all the background pieces for a 24" block, so all of my blocks (except ones made from yardage) have two different background fabrics. I was annoyed about this when I was piecing the blocks, but now I really like the effect of having a scrappier looking background.

Love your blocks, especially with the selection of fabrics. Well done!
Love your blocks and your quilting XXX
Your blocks look spicy, like sea salt, pepper and curry. I am looking forward to seeing the finished quilt. And since you're using QAYG, it looks like a 2016 finish.
It's amazing how colour changes the look of a block. If a quilt is made with love it doesn't matter about the wobbles!
Great looking start! I just bought this pattern and I am looking forward to starting it. TFS.
love your swoon blocks
Love your colors and yes, a wobble here and there never hurt any quilt. Thanks for sharing.
OMG, I absolutely love your color choices, fussy cuts and wobble quilting. Great job!!! Thanks for sharing the close-ups.
Those are beautiful Swoon blocks! Thanks for sharing your wobbles...made me smile because I have those happen, too.
I really like the effect of the two backgrounds in the blocks, too. Especially those "owl eyes" in block 4.
I embrace wobbles, too, unless they are on a really mini quilt where one wobble covers half of the quilt. Then I need to adjust.
I love your Swoons and woobles are character.
This is a very intriguing block. It's one of those that makes you sit and figure out how it is put together. That's what I love about quilts. Thanks for sharing, esp your wobbles. That helps me feel ok.
Great swoons. The backgrounds are scrappy and I wondered at first if it was the wrong side of the fabric boo boo. Bonnie H says you paid for both sides.
You're getting them done-one at a time.
the wobbles mean it was done by human hands. Leeanna at not afraid of oclor
fun quilt and I'm with you - perfection not required!
Ooh, your colours are gorgeous! As for perfection needed for juried shows...meh, I think the only way you'll get that is by computerized quilting, and then is that even a human? No...
