SWOON Rouenneries French General is a finish !

                                 
  I just finished my SWOON quilt made of all Rouenneries French General fabric. I used only jelly roll strips & a 5" charm pack to make all of these blocks that are 12.5 " . I decided to make all 9 blocks .  The pattern does not have a border but I wanted a border on mine. Finished size is 56" x 56".

I want to thank THELMA for her help figuring the cutting measurements for this quilt !  I was inspired by her Baby Swoon quilt she made for her daughter
This is block #8
Block # 9


 Have you seen this " A Day In Giverny " BOM  yet ?  Be still my heart !
This is made with the new French General fabric line " Chateau Rouge  Finished size is 68" x 88"
   Here is what one of the blocks looks like

Can you tell I love French General fabric !  I already bought patterns & fabric & it is near the top of my to do list

  2. I remember seeing the smaller version at Thelma's blog and wondered about the measurements because I like that smaller version too. Your quilt is pretty! Oh gosh, the new one you plan to do is also a good one.

  3. Your Swoon quilt is so pretty. I like French General fabric too. I have some Rouenneries hoarded until the right pattern comes along.

  4. You worked fast to get it finished :) it looks really great, very swoonworthy. I, too love French General fabric, but I don't need to start on another quilt just yet, so I'm resisting the temptation - that BOM looks pretty enticing though.

    I've been eying that "A Day in Giverny" pattern too!
