Farmer's Wife Week 34 - Our Blocks

Week 34 was tough for me, but we are closing in on finishing all 111 blocks!  Check out our blocks and some thoughts on how they came together.





Block 41 - Friendship Star

This block was pretty simple and I like how we chose to do them a little differently.

Block 42 - Fruit Basket

These blocks were challenging.  After finishing them, Beth realized that she made block 42 twice and had to rip out the edge pieces to make the basket "base" on block 45 properly.  My struggle was with getting the HSTs to not be wonky.  I think I'm getting sloppy with my trimming, so perhaps slowing down a bit will help.

Block 45 - Grape Basket

I love how Beth graduated the color value from light to dark both of her basket blocks.
