Time for my Daisy Cottage Swoon!

I won this beautiful fat quarter stack from

It's named Daisy Cottage!  Isn't it lovely?
Lori already has another line that just came out called
Millie's Closet that is also beautiful.

When I got this, I already had purchased Camille Roskelley's Swoon pattern.

Today I finished Block One:

 These blocks are 24.5" X 24.5" so I only need nine!
What do you think?

Oh, the background is Kona Snow.

You are one lucky lady. It looks great for Swoon. I have been collecting for that quilt for a long time and just can't decide. Yours is lovely.

Janet said...

Darn it, I hadn't seen that fabric yet and now I want it. I love Lori's designs. Congratulations on the win and for making a gorgeous block.

I love this block!! and needing only nine?? Bonus!!!
Is it just me or is Kona Snow a little cream looking?? I was expecting a bright white and the fabric I bought is a little off white.
Any clues please??

Oh crap! I was wondering what pattern would be the winner for your Daisy Cottage.. I was waiting so I could copy you... and now I want to run into my sewing room and make this up. The problem is, I am at work! Dang it!!! (all of this means I love your block)!
