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 Top
Here's my Farm Girl Vintage quilt top, so far! It measures 43 1/2" by 57 1/2". It needs a good pressing as well as a few more borders! The sashing measures 6 1/2" by 1 1/2" and the squares are
1 1/2" square. I did not repeat any fabrics when cutting out the squares for the sashing. (Too much stash but it came in handy!)
The next border is made up of the background fabric. However, the border after that is made up of flying geese. 130 flying geese, to be exact! That border might take a while. I have the fabric all washed and ready. The border after the flying geese is just the background again. The very last border is quite wide and a beautiful yellow in the book. We shall see what I come up with!
I'm happy to have all my cute little blocks all sewn together. For some reason, I hated seeing them in a pile. They look like they belong all pieced together!
