The Farmer's Wife quilt-along is up and running again this week. Amanda and I decided to take December and January off. It seemed like everyone was starting to fall behind due to the holidays, and I know that I was feeling a little burned out. As much as I love making these little 6 inch blocks, I was ready for a break. Now I am so excited to be working on them again! Here are my blocks so far. My goal was to have 56, which is the halfway mark, so I am just three blocks behind. Not too bad! I'll try for 3 a week until I'm all caught up.
It took awhile, but I layed out all of my blocks today. It has been a long time since I did that, and I am so happy to see them all together. Many many hours have been put into these blocks. Some have just a few pieces, but some have close to 60. Kinda nuts, right? I am glad that I went scrappy, I love all of the bits and pieces of my favorite fabrics all in the same place.
I'll be back soon with my most recent blocks, I have 5 to share. Make sure you head over to Amanda's blog to check our her blocks so far, they are wonderful.
xo, Angela

ReplyDeleteLove them altogether! I hope I can get back to my blocks later this year... so much to do, so little time!
ReplyDeleteNice to have you back! Your blocks look great and I love the scrappy look too! I kept going and having 80 blocks completed. I must put them all up for a photo soon!
ReplyDeletegood to see you back, hope you had a good break. The blocks look fabulous all together, makes me wish i had gone more modern with my choice, but i am loving my "William (Morris) meets the Farmers wife"
DeleteIt's good to see how well the scrappy approach works - I am doing the same thing and am hoping that they will all look as good together as yours when I have finished!

ReplyDeleteEeeep! Your blocks are all so pretty! I really need to get making my blocks again (I think I only have six completed) - I need more time in the day to get all the sewing done I want to!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite versions of FW. You have some great fabrics - it's really fun to look at your quilt blocks!
ReplyDeleteI love your version of the FWQ! I have seen the pattern/book and never thought to do it. But your color choices on each block are beautiful and make me consider trying this one out. :)
ReplyDeleteLove them all....you give me inspiration to make one myself...using my scraps.....a look forward to the rest of the blocks!
