Farmer's Wife - Week 9

For week 9 of our Farmer's Wife Quilt-along, I'm going back to three blocks.  They are:
  • Block 107, Windblown
  • Block 92, Streak of Lightning
  • Block 29, Economy
I would classify Windblown as difficult, but only because there are so many pieces. Economy and Streak of Lightning are straight-forward.

Let's go...
