Finishing Fall: Baby Swoon

This was probably the easiest of all the projects I decided to focus on this fall - the top has sat, mostly finished, for months. I only needed to add the last two borders - I calculated the overall square inches, and this top was 93% finished before this week. Sashing and borders might be the most tedious part of hand-piecing, though I finished these so quickly, relatively speaking, that I think maybe it's more looking at the long seam and anticipating it being tedious than the actual sewing.

The pattern is Camille Roskelley's famous Swoon, obtained via her Pre-cut Piecing Made Simple Craftsy class. The original pattern uses nine blocks; the four here make it throw-sized. The fabric is from the "girl" palette of the Celebration line from Bunny Hill Designs, with a couple of corresponding Bella solids, and the background is my go-to, Kona Snow. I started the quilt as a baby gift for a family friend, and now that the top's finished, I might actually have a completed quilt before the intended recipient turns three.
