Finished Swoon Quilt!

Hi everyone! Hope you are doing well. We've been enjoying longer days and blue skies, at least some of the time. It's been spring break this week and we've visited an airplane museum and gone to see the locks in Seattle too. We were lucky to have my husband's parents and sister visit us for a few days, it's sad to see them leave.

I finished this quilt up the other day:

 

And even had sunlight for taking some pictures. Maybe this photo's a little too bright but I like it anyway. We waited so long for sunny days this winter.

A few notes: 

*I used Basic Grey's Curio fabric collection for the blocks and a JoAnn's quilter's only solid for the background. I am disappointed because the quality of the quilter's only solid has really gone down since I last bought some, probably a couple years ago. It has a much looser weave and lower thread count, and I won't be using it again. 

*Pieced and quilted with thread from Connecting Threads; I have been really happy with their thread. I used the Essential Pro thread and will be ordering more soon. (Also they have some really cool circuit board fabric that I'm going to use to make a Kindle cover for my son.)

*Blocks are 18". The finished quilt is around 62" x 68". 

*I quilted it by stippling in the background areas and doing some swoopy outline quilting around the edges of the block pieces. Here's a closer picture of the quilting:

 

I'm happy to be done with it and excited to be working on my next project. :)
