Farmer's Wife - Week 39 - Our Blocks

Our final week of making blocks for the Farmer's Wife Quilt-along is done!  But, we are far from finished with the quilt.  We'll start assembling the quilt, so look for a post about how to put this quilt together.  Until then, here are our last two finished blocks.

Farmer's Wife - Week 39

At last, this is our final week of blocks for the Farmer's Wife Quilt-along!  We only have two blocks this week and they are definitely interesting blocks.
  • Block 93 - Swallow
  • Block 95 - Temperance Tree

Farmer's Wife - Week 38 - Our Blocks

After finishing week 38, we only have one week left!  Our blocks from this week include two more complex blocks that are similar and one other that is pretty simple.  Come back soon and I'll start sharing the assembly process.

Farmer's Wife - Week 37

We are on to week 37 of our Farmer's Wife Quilt-along, with just two more to go after this one! We have three more fairly simple blocks for this week.
  • Block 73 - Rainbow Flowers
  • Block 76 - Sawtooth
  • Block 84 - Spool

Farmer's Wife - Week 36 - Our Blocks

Our blocks for week 36 of the Farmer's Wife Quilt-along came out nicely.  In addition to good progress on the project, we've also been organizing!  If you haven't seen my recent posts on a few projects I finished in my sewing room, check out my new thread shelf and my ruler organizer.

Beth organized the remaining fabric for this project, quilting tools, sewing table, ironing board, and loose-leaf binder; cleaned her sewing machine, basket of mending (and mended several things), other quilting fabrics, and cut up two old blouses to make into book covers.  Whew!
