Farmer's Wife - Week 21 - Our Blocks

Week 21 of our Farmer's Wife Quilt-along included some rather complicated blocks with some alternative piecing options.  Here are our blocks:



Block 33 - Farmer's Puzzle

This block had 8 separate sections that were Foundation Paper Pieced, somewhat tedious due to the mirror image factor, along with the center cross made from measured strips.

Block 65 - Peaceful Hours

This is probably one of the more unusual blocks in the entire collection and complicated by the face that there were 8 sections that could be difficult to keep straight.  These pieces were also paired into mirror image pieces that required close attention.

Block 110 - Wood Lily

Wood Lily has a lot of small stripes that could be Foundation Paper Pieced or strip pieced.  I chose to do strip piecing, which I think made it go a bit faster.
