Winter Swoon

It's finally finished! And photographed!! My Swoon (pattern by Thimble Blossoms) made with Winter's Lane!I started this back in September and talked about it here. I wanted to have this quilted by my friend Gina Boone. I told her I wanted feathers everywhere! Feathers! Feathers!! Feathers!!!I followed the pattern for the Swoon blocks, but I increased the sashing to 3" finished and added a 5" finished border. Mine finished 90 x 90".I just can't get over the quilting!! She's insanely talented! Look at those feathers!!This quilt is for me! I'm putting it on my bed. I love this fabric and it makes me happy!!She did medallion feathers in each of the centers. She's a genius.Here's one more gratuitous picture of the quilting.Okay. One more. :)Guess who isn't supposed to touch this quilt?! It's too pretty and white. (I used Kona Snow for the background.) But don't worry, he already made himself at home during the photo shoot. Oh Mack the Chihuahua, what am I going to do with you?Pretty blue binding by The Guru! And me. We both had to work on this behemoth.I'm off to finish a few more things before we ring in 2014!xo LC
