From K - Salt Water Swoon Quilt Top

I have been admiring Swoon quilts since the pattern first came out. This summer I decided to get my feet wet by slicing up some prints from Tula Pink's Salt Water line.

I cut and assembled each block over the last two months as I was able to carve out a bit of time in the odd weekend here and there. My previous posts on this Swoon quilt give more detailed pictures of each of the blocks.

Last weekend I managed to polish off the sashing so my hubby helped me to take some pictures in a beautiful fall coloured park.

I'm on a tight deadline to finish up this quilt so I was thrilled we had such a beautiful day for photos before putting this project in the mail. This massive queen sized quilt top is on its way to a long armer and I'm seriously excited to see how it turns out in a few weeks.

I think the stars aligned just perfectly as I met a very talented long armer just as I was fretting about how to finish this up in time. This will mark the first quilt that I've sent off to be quilted rather than doing it myself and I'm looking forward to seeing her take on how it should be quilted. In a few short weeks I'll find out!

 

Linking up to Finish it up Friday over at Crazy Mom Quilts.

    Fabulous! How did you decide to quilt it? Or are you asking the quilter to take some liberty? Or, do I get to wait until the finish/final review?

    Exciting! It's so good when you find a long-armer you're on the same page as. Also such a relief not to have to quilt those giant quilts yourself. This is really beautiful - can't wait to see it quilted.
