Swooning~~~

I've been busy making swoon blocks for Bea's swap (see right side button). ;-)
It is especially fun to know we have swappers from the UK and Australia! I love to see fabrics
from different parts of the country~ and world! :-)

I finished these two blocks last week, along with a few more.


Today I was working on a bunch of HST's for the next bunch of blocks.
I love to use Triangulations whenever making HST's because of the accuracy~ and no little trimming of small bits off of the sides~ they come out perfect every time!
I print them on Scribble pad pages, and cut them down to however many I need for each block. 
This time there was no waste~ as the smaller parts were used for another part of the block. :-)


I don't mind pulling off the papers in the evening while watching TV~
it makes me feel like I've really accomplished something. LOL
And once I have all the little parts for the blocks assembled, assembly line fashion~ the blocks go together really fast!

Thanks for stopping by~
I hope you are having some fun sewing too! :-)

Those are beautiful blocks and really nicely pieced. I have low patience for projects that take any thinking;)

Gorgeous blocks. I've never used the TRiangulations method of HST's. I should really as I love ripping the paper from paper piecing. Great stress relief xxx

What size swoon are you doing? I have bought the smaller size (have not made any yet) but liked the big 24" block enough I had to try it again in a smaller size too!! ;)
Your blocks are very pretty!!

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
