Farm Girl Vintage Sew Along


I'm keeping up very nicely with the Farm Girl Vintage Sew Along. These are such cute blocks and I feel it's a great opportunity to sharpen my piecing skills. I'm making them all 6 1/2 inches. I think it will be a fun quilt! I've made 17 blocks so far. There will be 45 blocks when complete.

Here are the blocks I made in the last 2 weeks.


Farmhouse Block


Farm Fresh Flower Block


Feed and Seed Block


Fresh Pears Block

I'm using my stash only. I don't mind the backgrounds all being different. I think that will add a little interest to the quilt. It should turn out to be a whimsical quilt!!
