FARMER'S WIFE SAMPLER QUILT {WEEK #4}

 

 

Week #4 already?????

 

What a week it has been...

pollen...allergies....Cub Scouts...terrible weather

 

This week
was able to make a few more
Farmer's Wife Quilt Blocks:

 

 

 

One thing that I have learned

in the past 4 weeks,

is that

I need to be the mood/right frame of mind

to work on these blocks.

 

 

Some of the blocks are easy.

Other blocks require more concentration.

I have found that if

I work on the blocks

right after my Little Person

goes to bed,

I have better results.

If I wait until late at night I'm too tired and the results

aren't as good.

 

 

So, last night

I pulled out these and started working on them:

 

Once I got on a roll,

I was able to make 4 blocks...well,

technically 3 Farmer's Wife Blocks and 1 extra.

 

 

Block #18: Century of Progress

 

This block gave me a fit! I honestly don't know why

I didn't save this block until later.

It has it's issues, but I am over it and I am just going to move on.

 

 

You can't tell from the photo,

but there are actually two shades of orange in this block...

ombre affect...sort of.

 

Block #68: Postage Stamp

 

While I was cutting out my fabrics

for this week's blocks,

I noticed that

Barn Block #3 of Lori's Barn Along

was the Postage Stamp Block.

 

I figured that since I was already

cutting out the pieces for the Barn Block,

I might as well jump ahead and cut out the pieces for the Farmer's Wife Block.

 

 

Now all I have to do is construct Barn #3 for the Barn A Long.

 

Block #20: Churn Dash

 

If I would have checked Lori's blog

before I started cutting out this block,

I would have found out

that Barn Block #4 is the Churn Dash!

 

Ughh...I could have cut out those pieces as well!

 

 

Stats: 4 weeks of Farming

18 blocks done...

many more to go!
