I managed to piece the next 9 Farmer's Wife blocks on Tuesday, but it wasn't easy. I made the last one at 10pm. I was determined to get that 9th block done just because a 3x3 grid makes a nice picture.
Why are the simplest blocks the easiest to screw up?

I played a little bit with fussy cutting which was really fun. This was also my first block with no solid white. This one is a little busy, but I like it anyway.

I changed the color placement for Century of Progress but I'm not happy with it. I probably won't remake it or use it in my final quilt. There is a huge blob of seam allowances behind the center of this block. It's really unavoidable with so many seams coming together.

I need to get some other work done today, so this will not be a 9 block day!
9 blocks in one day?!? it would probably take me 2 months to accomplish that! Your blocks are beautiful!!! it is amazing how many pieces there are in some of those little 6" blocks!
ReplyDeleteReally nice and beautiful blocks!
ReplyDeletethese blocks are coming along beautifully
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to our TWO BLOCK A WEEK PLAN???? Really? Really? I have my TWO blocks done for this week - and one required a panic call to you. This is supposed to be a long term project. Are you TRYING to kill me? Good thing I love you - otherwise I wouldn't like you right now!!! :)
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are really lovely! Great fabric choices!
