I got 3 more Farmer's Wife blocks done which brings my count up to 37 blocks. I seriously thought I had more than that, like 40 something.
I messed this one up not once, but twice and decided it was good enough. Those blue half square triangles and the white ones should be in opposite spots.
I love the delicacy of this block.
I totally changed up the colors of this block once I realized it was a bow tie.
I keep the patterns and the fabric I want to use in this zip pouch. It makes it easy to just sit down and sew without trying to decide what fabric I want to use. As you can see I wrote down each color on the pattern so I know exactly what the plan was to make each block
So I have heard through the quilting grapevine, that there are some people out there closely following my progress with these blocks. I would love to know who you are! Now that I know that, I will be a little bit more diligent to get working on them, the pressure is on! I am still not sure if I am doing all 111 but maybe half?

Oh, these blocks make me want to make another FW! I love, love, love the colors you use! You have a fabulous color sense! Thanks for sharing! XO
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy seeing your FW blocks. Your fabric choices are so fresh and pretty. You're doing well to have so many completed.
ReplyDeleteI love your modern twist of fabrics in your FW blocks and the new header too. I made FW a few years ago in honor of my grandpa who was a farmer.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look so pretty. I just love the bright clear colors you use and how you combine the colors. Maybe you should take a look around...sometimes those blocks hide under stuff. :) I really will have to do a FW at some point. Right now I am still kind of trying to finish up some UFOs. A lot of UFOs actually. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh I am one of those people following you! I did not notice anything wrong with your block until you mentioned it. I like that you think that way. If it was all perfect where would the fun be! You know I simply love your colors choices, you have such a knack for choosing colors. Keep on going girl! I will be watching.......
ReplyDeleteThose blocks are so pretty and joyful that it's the kind of project you never get bored with.
ReplyDeleteLovely blocks! You can always stop at the lap quilt size if you need to!
ReplyDeleteNow for sure I will be following Farmers Wife progress. I am considering making one also. The clear pouch is a good way to stay organized and to have it readily accessible for sewing.
ReplyDeleteI was so excited when I saw your title! Your color choices are always so happy and cheerful! I can't stand how pretty your new header is!!! It makes me smile every time!!! I definitely wouldn't redo that block because who in the world would know that the HST are flipped?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy this beautiful day!
I am following your FWSQ block progress!
ReplyDeleteI am on block #21 now. Your blocks are gorgeous and inspire me! I am not on a schedule, either.

ReplyDeleteFun to see your newest FW blocks. I've thought about doing a similar quilt, but don't think I want to commit to anything that serious right now.:) Love your new header!
