    You've been so busy! Everything looks so lovely! Your Swoon blocks are what finally inspired me to do my own version. Mine is a Carpenter's Wheel but looks very similar!

    Looking good, Debbie! If I had the extra time, I would have jumped in on the X and + swap. I love the blocks I have been seeing.

    I really like that 'On a Whim' pattern too. The aqua and white that they show would be perfect for winter.
