Finished. And I love it.
A lot. All of those bits that frustrated me in the process, the parts where I made "mistakes" in the piecing and quilting, as I suspected none of those are evident now that it is complete, it's just a bunch of
Hometown Swoonery goodness. Thanks to
Camille Roskelley for such an awesome pattern, to the girls at
Sweetwater for such lovely fabric to work with, and to all of you for your kind and supportive comments along the way. Without further ado, the photos....
{The test drive.....hehehe}

Beautiful!! I love it!! What great pictures of a fantastic quilt!!
heather that's just fantastic - well done - it looks awesome - i just love the straight line quilting on it - really highlights the blocks
That is SO pretty. When people ask me about my quilting I tell them I cut big pieces of fabric into smaller pieces of fabric and then I sew it all all back together to make another big piece of fabric.
Totally swooning over here, Heather! Awesome quilt!! Great choice for quilting and fun pictures! It even goes well with your patio!
beautiful! i didn't realize how big it was until the last photo, haha! Lovely pattern and fabric and I like your straight line quilting. yay!
Looks FABULOUS!
Wow!!! That is beautiful. You did a great job. I never would have thought of the straight line quilting, but it really is striking, just LOVE it.

Ooooh!!! Heather, it is gorgeous! And that quilting just makes everything pop. You did such an amazing job, thanks so much for sharing!
Be still my heart! This is just gorgeous. I'm so glad Camille linked it on Twitter so I could get a peek!

SWOON is right! Oh.MY! I can hardly wait until I have one that is similar to this! Thanks so much for the inspiration. I won't even start mine until after the first of the year.

This is scrumptiously gorgeous
I love that you say "craft of the moment" and admit that it can change.
My craft of the moment has been quilting for about 20 years, but that could change.
For now I just change my pillows and my hair color ... a lot.
Thanks ~ Mary

SO gorgeous! Congratulations on a beautiful finish!
I swoon for your Swoon! Two of my favorites. Hometown and Swoon. And the quilting is lovely!
absolutely love it! I love that you straight-line quilted it as well.
It looks amazing! You really did a great job! Wow, a queen size quilt! Was it hard quilting the middle? I'm going to have to quilt a KING size quilt for my parents for Christmas... and I'm scared. Any tips?
Beautiful...I love that pattern!
Wonderful quilt.
It's so pretty! I love Hometown and seeing it in a Swoon quilt makes me love it even more!
It's so incredible. I can't believe how big it is. I get so intimidated just thinking about quilting but I love admiring them and dreaming of making one myself...one day.
Stop by my blog. I just started a linky party that I'm hoping will grow. Thanks.
