I laid out all my Farmer's Wife blocks to see what I had in the way of colors. I am heavy on the red and blue! I am up to 50 blocks and I am trying to decide how far I will go. I definitely need more yellow and green.
I really like the combination of these two fabrics together and I love basket blocks.
So you will notice both of these blocks have red and blue in them. Now I have to plot out the rest with a little more green, yellow and a dash of pink.
I do love these blocks and think it will be a nice quilt when I get to the end.
I also made some more nine patches, I can't stop making them. Some of them were made with the scraps from the FW quilt and some were just scraps laying around on the sewing table.
Oh and I started another quilt, for my cousin who just became a grandmother for the first time. I also need to make a baby girl quilt for a special mom who thought she would never have a baby. Sometimes you get the nicest surprises when you least expect it! I am so happy for her.
Do you have a go to pattern for a baby quilt?I would love to know......

Your FW blocks are so wonderfully You!! They look spectacular all laid out. Your nine patches are a party of colour too. Isn't it great when you love piecing something so much you just want to make more. You can never have to many 9 patches!
ReplyDeleteGreat FW blocks, Kelly! You have an eye for combining happy colours. :o) Now I'm trying to resist making some 9-patch blocks after seeing yours - they are gorgeous.

love your FW blocks. They are so YOU and fun. The colors are happy and fresh. Maybe you can make a great nine-patch border for it.
ReplyDeleteI made more 9Ps yesterday.
My go to baby pattern is the bow tie - I'll send you a photo. So fun to work on baby quilts :)
Your Farmer's Wife blocks are so fun and full of color!! As far as a "go to pattern", I have used the Yellow Brick Road by Atkinson Designs many times. It is fast, easy and the fabrics just make the quilt! It is great for using fat quarters. I often add a couple more fabrics than is necessary for more variety.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look amazing! Love that basket block. I don't really have a go to pattern other than my own Piano Keys pattern. It also depends on my mood and the time I have to work on it. Congratulations to both, your cousin and the first time mom to be!
ReplyDeleteYour FW blocks look so great. You have a lot done already. I don't have baby quilt pattern that I use alot. I usually try to find a pattern that I have not used before.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be the best FW quilt ever. I love your fabric choices...
