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.

Farmer's Wife - Week 11 - Our Blocks

Our blocks for week 11 of the Farmer's Wife Quilt-along present very nicely!

Beth enjoyed making Block 9, Box, because she got to use a larger-scale print that is often too fussy for the more complicated blocks.

Farmer's Wife - Week 10 - Our Blocks

Week 10 of our Farmer's Wife Quilt-along included three blocks that were all assembled using foundation paper pieceing.

Block 94 - Tall Pine Tree - presented a challenge in getting the color placement and block orientation just right.  See my post about how many ways you can mess this one up!  I think Beth did a fantastic job with her fabric/color choices.
