Farmer's Wife - Week 33

This week's Farmer's Wife blocks are all about HSTs... and a little applique.  The blocks are:

• Block 26 - Cut Glass Dish 
• Block 27 - Darting Birds 
• Block 35 - Flower Basket 

Farmer's Wife - Week 32 - Our Blocks

This week in our Farmer's Wife Quilt-along was a little more challenging, but the blocks turned out nicely!

Two More Blocks - Blue & White Sampler

Last week I shared the Lone Star block I made for my Blue & White Sampler quilt.  Well, I've finished two more blocks; Swoon and an un-named block I stumbled on.

They are very similar, but since I made them different sizes, they look very different.

La Passacaglia - My Second Round

About a month ago, I shared my first round or rosette of the La Passacaglia quilting endeavor, so here is my second!  Following along with some of the images I can see online (I haven't gotten the book, yet), I made this one larger, with several more rings around it and with a "bite" taken out for my first one to "sit in".

Farmer's Wife - Week 32

For week 32 of our Farmer's Wife Quilt-along we'll be using just about all of the piecing methods we've used before and the blocks vary from easy to challenging.  The blocks are:

• Block 43 - Garden Path
• Block 77 - Seasons
• Block 99 - W.C.T.U.

Farmer's Wife - Week 31 - Our Blocks

Week 31 of our Farmer's Wife Quilt-along is complete!  We have now completed 88 blocks and have 8 weeks left.  Here are our blocks for this week:

All of these blocks were assembled using creative piecing techniques.

Lone Star Block - Blue & White Sampler

I have not made the Lone Star block before now, but I had fun making this one using the instructions found on the Hopeful Homemaker, which are just excellent!

Blue & White Lone Star Block

I'm very pleased with how it turned out and will use this method again.

I hadn't shared yet that I'm working on another sampler quilt, this time in blue and white, but also a less structure quilt.  I discovered this post on Sew Mama Sew that describes a clever way to make a sampler quilt with different sized blocks.  I love new ideas and decide to jump right in.

I'm starting with a few large blocks; this one and the Feathered Star block I wrote about in January.  I'll continue to share my blocks for the Blue & White Sampler, as they are complete.
