Two blocks a week for the Farmer’s Wife Sampler Quilt. I got my blocks done early this week.
Block 9 – Box
Block 10 – Bowtie
Last week’s blocks:
Block 7 – Birds in the Air
Block 8 – Bouquet
I just now realized that the blocks are in alphabetical and numerical order. At least the way I’m doing them. Who knew?
You’d think I could have made one more block before posting this picture. Alas, this was progress as of yesterday and I had to suspend fun operations to get back to more serious projects. With deadlines.
My One Block Over bee members made some of the blocks. I made some of the blocks. I’m so appreciative to have had the bee members sewing for me in May. It really gave this project a jump start.
I have a lot of cutting done for this but I NEVER have enough X fabrics cut. I have a hard time picking fabrics for the X part. Don’t know why.
After spending some time admiring the blocks over at the Japanese + and X blocks Flickr group, I think I’ll add some more colorful backgrounds and some more light fabrics for the X part. I don’t know, these are awfully addictive……
School’s out for summer!
School friends seemed to be going down memory lane today, so I thought I’d join in. She’s gonna kill me.
Speaking of joining in. Trying to keep up with the Joneses by joining in The Farmer’s Wife Quilt-Along being led by Amanda and Angela. Katy predicts I will last until sometime in July. Sounds about right. So far I’m just making in numerical order and I think I’m going for slightly understated colors. So far.
And then I look at other people’s blocks and I like their fabric choices better than mine. ::sigh::
Are you making Farmer’s Wife blocks? Don’t forget to put a bucket on your head!
