At 95.5" square this quilt top is very hard to photograph!
I had to resort to the driveway for the clearest shot (and got some dirt on the quilt Grrrrr).
I used 5" sashing between the blocks (cut 5.5"). This spaces the blocks further apart than the Swoon pattern suggests, but I wanted the quilt to be big enough for a King size bed.
I also added a 7" border around the outer edge. I wanted 10" but didnt have enough my neutral bacnground fabric (I bought 6m!).
This is the moment where you go "Whoa, those blocks really are huge!". I usually have really dark bedding (blues/browns) on the bed, so this is quite quilt is quite a deviation for me.
This bed is a Queen, and the quilt has a decent drape over the sides. I hate quilts that aren't big enough!
This baby is heading off to be professionally quilted. I cant wait to get it back so I can (1) show it to you and (2) start using it! I will try and work on the matching pillows while its gone.
