I'm finally retired and feel I can do what I love. I'm so happy to be out of the rat race! I try to quilt, read and knit as much as possible. I love to get comments and will respond to each and every one! I hope you enjoy my little blog as much as I do! Thank you for visiting me!

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!!

ReplyDeleteThere are 2 sets of directions. You can make either 12 1/2" blocks or 6 1/2" blocks. I opted for the smaller ones. The whole book is full of adorable blocks and projects. Thanks for the nice comment!!
