FARMER'S WIFE SAMPLER QUILT {I GAVE IN...}

{WARNING----PHOTO INTENSE POST} 

 

COMPLETED Farmer's Wife Quilts have been popping up everywhere

in Blogland.

Bloggers have been working on this quilt forever!

When I first saw the quilt blocks/quilts,

I just didn't think that it was

a project for me.

So I happily admired them from afar.

 

THEN

Mrs. Lori of Bee In My Bonnet

started the Quilt Barn revolution.

 

I made my first Quilt Barn Block here:

 

THEN,

I was hooked on making those 6" blocks!

I loved them so much

that I gave in and started my own

Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt!

 

 

As you can see,

I am sticking to all solids for this quilt

and NO white!

 

I am using Moda Bella Solids from my stash.

 

 

I am trying to train myself

to see color first

and not the print.

 

 

I am making the blocks in order

because if I don't

I'll loose track of which blocks I have done.

 

I am using templates (not paper piecing).

 

So far I have skipped the blocks

with applique (not into it)

and the ones with tiny pieces.

I will do those later because I don't want to get discouraged.

 

So here are my Farmer's Wife Sampler Blocks:

 

Block #1: Attic Window

 

Block #2: Autumn Tints

 

 

Block #4: Basket Weave

 

 

Block #6: Big Dipper

 

Block #8: Bouquet

 

I am also linking up to Ellie of Craft Sew Create.
She is hosting a Farmer's Wife Friday.

 

and Lee at Freshly Pieced

 

 

 

 

and one last photo of them all together

because I L-O-V-E them!

 

 

Until Next Time ... Happy Quilting
