Farmer's Wife - Week 16

We are back from vacation, all caught up, and ready for another week of our Farmer's Wife Quilt-Along!  This week we'll be making three more blocks, but these all have something in common.  Each block includes Flying Geese Rectangle blocks.  I posted information on the Flying Geese block here, so read up on that before getting started.

Our blocks this week are:
  • Block 15 - Buzzard's Roost
  • Block 31 - Evening Star
  • Block 87 - Star Gardener

Farmer's Wife - Week 15 - Our Blocks

For Week 15 of the Farmer's Wife Quilt-Along, we completed three more blocks.  Block 18, Century of Progress, was by far the most difficult.  All of the points that needed to be matched up were challenging.

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.
