Farmer's Wife - Week 13 - Our Blocks
We have been on a short break and getting caught up! Here are our results from Week 13 of the Farmer's Wife Quilt-Along.
Block 19, Checkerboard, wasn't too hard, but lining up those corners was the most tedious part; looks like we did a good job there.

Tutorial - Dog-Eared Triangle
I don't know what anyone else calls this triangle, but I call it "Dog-Eared". I take the term from what we used to do (before we knew better) to books when we didn't have a bookmark handy; we'd fold down the corner of the page. The two triangles remind me of those "Dog Ears"!
I've found this triangle used quite a bit while making the blocks for the Farmer's Wife Quilt-Along. It is made up of a square in the center with two smaller triangles attached to adjacent sides of the square to form a larger triangle.
Read my tutorial for a fool-proof way to make these perfectly every time.

Tutorial - Flying Geese Units
There are so many uses for the Flying Geese rectangles that it warrants a separate post on the various ways you can make them, including my tutorial on how to make a single unit.
Most everyone is familiar with the Flying Geese border that has been a standard on quilts for a long time. If you are looking to make many Flying Geese units that are all the same color scheme, this tutorial explains how to make four identical units at a time, plus it has the benefit of being a "no waste" method.
If you are looking to make fewer than four Flying Geese units or want to use up your scraps, read on for my tutorial...

Farmer's Wife - Week 12 - Our Blocks
We've finished our blocks for Week 12 of the Farmer's Wife Quilt-along, and they look great! I so enjoyed doing the applique on the handle of Basket Weave, I think that I may have to dig into some of my books on applique and do some dabbling.
Here are our Block 3, Basket, blocks.
